April 2019 Ministerial Conference on the Eradication of Statelessness in the Great Lakes Region

  Event Description

From 16-18 April 2019 in Nairobi, the Government of Kenya, the Executive Secretariat of the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) and the United High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) co-organised a Ministerial Conference on the Eradication of Statelessness in the Great Lakes Region. The purpose of this conference was to review the progress of Member States of the ICGLR under the Action Plan of the ICGLR on the Eradication of Statelessness (ICGLR Action Plan), and to prepare for the High-Level Segment on statelessness to be held on 7 October 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland. The main outcomes of this regional flagship event were the official statements delivered by the Ministers and/or their delegate from the 12 ICGLR Member State with indicative pledges that their Government intends to showcase at the Global High Level Segment. Statements of support and indicative pledges were also delivered by a few inter-governmental bodies such as CEMAC, African Union Commission and UN Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary General to the Great Lakes region, as well as by a representative of civil society organisations to join their efforts to the ICGLR Member States to eradicate statelessness in this region. Below you will find all the documents relating to this regional conference.
