They're gathering in the delegates lounge - it's a chance for them to meet their counterparts and discuss policies informally. However, the real action has been taking place behind closed doors at a sideline summit on tackling Boko Haram.
Officials from Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria joined those from the UN, and the UK to discuss the threat of the Islamist militants.
The Under Secretary for Human Rights Sarah Sewall represented the US.
Topics on the table included improving regional co-ordination and looking at further options to combat terrorism.

CUT 1: British Foreign Secretary, William Hague: "Nigeria and Chad, Benin, Niger and Cameroon have today confirmed that they will put into operation a regional intelligence fusion unit - bringing together their intelligence efforts - to find and pull together all available information and to tighten the net around Boko Haram. The UK along with the United States and France will provide the necessary technical expertise for that."

Anjali Kwatra is from ActionAid...
CUT 2: Anjali Kwatra, ActionAid: "Nigeria has the means to look for the girls and find them. But we think it is really helpful if the international community can get behind Nigeria, can offer help in a coordinated way and also ensure that Nigeria realises that this problem is not going to go away.
VO 4: On Friday, The US Secretary of State John Kerry will join organisers at the close of the summit.
All are hoping that a week of meetings will turn into real action for the victims of sexual violence.
