In 2014, the Global Campaign #IBelong was launched with the aim of wiping out statelessness by 2024. Since then, members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have strongly committed to end this plight in the region. The advocacy efforts from the campaign are strengthened by regional commitments, such as the Abidjan Declaration on the Eradication of Statelessness, adopted in February 2015 by all ECOWAS member States.
