#Day2️⃣ started on an incredible note following a successful #Day1️⃣ engagement! African Union member states are analysing & reviewing in a holistic approach the #African Common Position on Migration & Devt. This seeks to position the continent in a more united & integrated path.

In as much as #AUMS have their own national priorities in implementing #GCM, It’s expected that this Plan of Action will provide guidance on how National Action Plans should be developed. A harmonized approach in the reporting & reviewing mechanism is critical for #Africa.

African Union member states in unism thoroughly reviewed the draft Plan of Action for the implementation of the #GCM & validated it accordingly. We are hopeful that, thru this, member states will experience the true value & concrete benefits of migration for development.

Yesterday after 2 days of thorough review, African Union member states validated a draft Plan of Action for the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) in Africa. Ghana was commended as it is getting ready to launch its own national GCM implementation plan.

The impacts of climate change are happening now, threatening lives and displacing millions globally. We can no longer ignore the urgent need for solutions for those who have to move, those already on the move, and those striving to stay and adapt. We need #ClimateAction now.
