Dialogue Activities
WAI provides a dialogue platform which brings together political decision-makers, economic actors and researchers from across West Africa and beyond. These discussions and other outreach activities take place at regional and national conferences. Dialogues between academic and political approaches to issues of regional integration in West Africa also take place during high-ranking political and diplomatic visits to WAI. Thus, WAI contributes to bridging the existing gap between political declarations on regional integration in West Africa and their implementation, as well as their link with the West African society at large. The dialogue activities of WAI cover a wide range of issues in the context of WAI´s general research agenda. Dialogue and outreach activities are also opportunities to evaluate the impact of decisions taken by the West African regional institutions.
