During this meeting, two agreements were signed in the presence of members of the EESC Bureau and the Ambassador of the Republic of Niger to Morocco, Salissou ADA, the EESC said in a press release.
The first agreement is an amendment to the cooperation framework established in 2018 between the EESC and the CESOC, which aims to broaden partnership opportunities by ensuring that cooperation programmes between the two Councils are adapted to the development dynamics of the countries and the real needs of their citizens, the press release states.
Under this agreement, both parties undertake to give a pragmatic and programmatic character to their cooperation and to develop an action plan for the implementation of this agreement.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr Chami, who was accompanied at this meeting by the Secretary General of the EESC and UCESA, Younes Benakki, stressed that the revision of the cooperation framework between the two institutions is likely to further energize it, in particular by drawing inspiration from the work and opinions of the two Councils and by making use of best practices and the most relevant lessons.
For his part, Mr. Mairou Malam Ligari declared that the updating of the agreement signed in 2018 between the CESE and the CESOC should strengthen the synergies between the two institutions and align with the dynamics of African regional integration and the creation of high added value value chains in the interest of the populations of the two countries.
Regarding the second agreement, concluded between UCESA and CESOC, it concerns the carrying out of an in-depth study on climate mobility (deep dive) in Niger.
Mr. Chami indicated, in this sense, that the findings and recommendations of this study, which is part of the UCESA climate action project, should help raise awareness among the stakeholders concerned about the importance of anticipating climate mobility phenomena and taking this dimension into consideration in adaptation plans and development strategies.
For his part, Mr. Mairou Malam Ligari highlighted the urgency of providing appropriate responses to climate change, particularly to displacement linked to climate change in Africa and more particularly in Niger, which is among the Sahel countries most affected by this phenomenon.
This study will be led by UCESA with the active contribution of CESOC and local stakeholders and the support of development partners.
