A rapidly growing network

Accra, Nov. 27 - The seventh annual meeting of the Steering Committee of WAN took place from 22 to 27 November 2011 in Accra, Ghana's capital. 12 participating countries including 4 new countries and, for the first time, the Commission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) were represented and have noted the strong growth of the network. To date, some 1,800 children have been reintegrated into their countries and within their families. Witness to this positive momentum: a regional coordination office of the Network will open in spring 2012 in Burkina Faso.
