The British High Commission in Nigeria co-funded a two day seminar to contribute to ECOWAS member states’ preparedness for the ATT negotiations in New York. The seminar was held at the ECOWAS Commission in Abuja and was funded from the UK Government’s Africa Conflict Prevention Pool, which is active in West Africa. The feedback showed that the seminar helped participants to: consolidate the ECOWAS Common Position ahead of the ATT negotiations in New York; gain a deeper understanding of the draft ATT text; finalize their negotiation strategy and tactics on how to seek specific language improvements in order that the final text best reflects ECOWAS interests; and issue a communiqué.
