The present report summarizes the main findings and recommendations from piloting this guidance in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and will allow the ECOWAS Member States to have up-to-date analyses and recommendations on how policy coherence can be enhanced in the sub-region. This report is issued within the framework of the Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa project (FMM), funded by the EU and ECOWAS.
