The Ghana National Bureau has resolved to celebrate the “ECOWAS Brown
Card Day’’, an insurance scheme protocol signed on 29th May, 1982 in
Cotonou.
The scheme was designed to aid free movement of persons and goods and
services across national boundaries of ECOWAS member states.
It serves as a common insurance cover against third party liabilities
that visiting motorists may incur while they drive across various
national boundaries in the ECOWAS Region.
The celebration would hold on 29th May, 2019 under the theme: “The
ECOWAS Brown Card Insurance Scheme: A Catalyst for Trade Facilitation
and Regional Integration.”
The General Secretary of the Ghana Bureau of the ECOWAS Brown Card
Insurance Scheme, Mr Patrick K. Agyekum, said various addresses shall be
presented by major stakeholders of the Scheme including the
Commissioner of Insurance.
With the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration billed
as the guest of honour, the Secretary General of the Council of Bureaux
of ECOWAS Brown Card Insurance Scheme in Togo, Winfred Dodzih will also
grace the occasion, as well as CEOs of member insurance companies of the
Brown Cards Scheme.
The event would be chaired by Emmanuel Baba Mahama, a seasoned insurer, accountant and corporate governance expert.
