Abidjan has been hosting since Monday, June 21, 2021 a meeting of experts from WAEMU member States on the implementation of the Framework Agreement for Security and Intelligence Cooperation between Member States. The meeting, which ends on Friday 25 June 2021, will lead to a new roadmap.

The WAEMU Commission through the General Delegation for Peace and Security is holding a meeting on the implementation of the Framework Agreement for Security and Intelligence Cooperation among WAEMU Member States. The mission of the experts taking part in this meeting is to examine the new roadmap of the Framework Agreement on Security and Intelligence Cooperation between the WAEMU States. Faced with the multiple and complex security challenges facing WAEMU member States, the Heads of State and Government adopted, on 24 October 2013, an Additional Act establishing the WAEMU Common Policy in the field of peace and security.

In this context, a Framework Agreement for Security and Intelligence Cooperation between WAEMU member States was signed on 26 April 2018. A roadmap for its implementation was adopted in Niamey on 31 October 2018 by the ministerial meeting on security in the WAEMU area. The participants will also examine and validate the draft "Report on Peace and Security in the WAEMU area for the second half of 2020". The road map and report will be submitted to the next ministerial meeting on security.
