Migrant workers across West Africa send home an estimated $40 billion every year, significantly bolstering the region\u2019s economy through support for education, healthcare, family welfare, and small businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was revealed by the ECOWAS Resident Representative to Ghana, Ambassador Mohammed Lawan Gana, at the opening of a three-day conference in Accra focused on validating the ECOWAS Labour Migration Strategy and Action Plan (LMSAP).<\/p>\n

Speaking at the conference, Ambassador Gana highlighted the crucial role of migrant labour in driving development across the sub-region. He noted that in 2019 alone, migrant workers accounted for 2.8% of Africa\u2019s total labour force, with 3.7 million of them contributing to key sectors such as agriculture, construction, mining, domestic services, and hospitality within ECOWAS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contribution of migrant workers goes beyond labour \u2013 they are a lifeline for millions of families through their remittances,\u201d Ambassador Gana emphasized. He added that from 2010 to 2019, the number of international migrant workers in Africa rose from 9.6 million to 14.5 million \u2014 a 50% increase in under a decade \u2014 with an annual growth rate of 4.8%, nearly double that of the general population.<\/p>\n

He praised the high labour absorption rates of migrant workers, citing figures of 94.6% in Ghana and 90.1% in Nigeria, underscoring their importance in sustaining national economies.<\/p>\n

Despite these achievements, Ambassador Gana warned of persistent challenges facing labour migration, including irregular migration, inadequate social protections, weak governance, limited data, and the marginalization of vulnerable groups, particularly women and youth.<\/p>\n

To address these concerns, the ECOWAS Labour Migration Strategy and Action Plan has been developed, outlining five key strategic objectives:<\/p>\n

Promoting Regular Migration and Human Security \u2013 This aims to create safe, legal, and well-regulated migration pathways while tackling exploitation and trafficking.<\/p>\n

Protecting Migrant Workers\u2019 Rights \u2013 The strategy emphasizes fair recruitment, access to justice, social protection, and the signing of bilateral labour agreements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maximizing Development Impact \u2013 This involves enhancing financial literacy, supporting reintegration programs, and aligning migration policies with national development agendas.<\/p>\n

Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Governance \u2013 The strategy proposes improved institutional frameworks and coordination among ECOWAS Member States, backed by a new Labour Migration Technical Working Group.<\/p>\n

Ensuring Gender and Social Inclusion \u2013 A focus on inclusive policies that safeguard the rights of women, children, and persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Strategy is more than a policy document \u2014 it is a regional commitment to ensure migration is safe, voluntary, and beneficial,\u201d Ambassador Gana stressed. He called on the media and stakeholders to share the stories of migrant workers and amplify the goals of the Strategy.<\/p>\n

The event brought together labour experts from across the sub-region and is being held with support from the Joint Labour Migration Programme (JLMP), International Organization for Migration (IOM), International Labour Organization (ILO), and other partners.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Gana concluded by urging stakeholders to work together towards a future where migration in West Africa is safe, orderly, dignified, and a tool for sustainable development.<\/p>\n
