Travel Security for Business Travellers in West Africa

Pre-Travel Intelligence

Before travelling to any West African destination, business travellers should obtain a current country security assessment. Pay particular attention to the specific city or region, not just the national-level picture.

## In-Country Protocols

Always maintain awareness of your surroundings, vary your routes and schedules, and have an emergency contact plan established before you arrive. Register with your embassy upon arrival.

## Medical and Emergency Preparedness

Identify the nearest credible medical facility before you need it. Ensure your travel insurance covers medical evacuation, and carry a basic first aid kit.
