Message From Director General
It is a great pleasure for me once again to communicate to all our esteemed members of Ecowas Project Development Commission (ECOWAS-AP), stakeholders and partner through our website. Our programme activity trend has been encouraging though low due to the global challenges on crisis. Somehow we have worked to navigate the turbulent financial waters and frantic paddling has been the order of the day.
Now that the turbulence seems to have subsided in some ways, we all are striving to return to some measure of stability and calm to our personal and professional endeavours. In the mid of all these challenges, we saw the first signs of a rapid increase in regional development, Spherical Solutions & ECOWAS BLOC Buyers Group (SSEBB) reached out to our collaborators and other organizations in Community Development such as the World Bank, European Union (EU) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), to share resources and partner in presenting the most needed interventions.
As advocate of poverty reduction through Community Development and regional development, our efforts are needed now more than ever before to help our region. You will read about some of these efforts in our website.
Keeping in mind the challenging nature of
Community Development currently prevailing in the region, indications are
that we will be faced by more challenges as we embark on the implementation
of our mandate of Community Development through regional development. I look
forward to your continued support in ensuring that Ecowas Project
Development Commission (ECOWAS-AP)achieves its noble mandate of Community
Development through regional development and human capacity development.
As you read through our website, you will find some links created to bring
together various partners and collaborators. I am privileged to be part of
this wonderful organization that brings together a group of diverse States
and institutions all with a common mission. Member States who generously
contribute their expertise, judgment, guidance and resources. It is through
their vision that we see past our artificial boundaries and consider all
that is possible.
Partners and Member States who willingly share their time, resources and
guidance. Their contribution to the fabric of our organization is
extraordinary. Donors and funders who are our partners in the truest sense
of the word. We are enormously grateful for their generosity and we are
deeply moved by their confidence in our Programmes.
And the dedicated members of Staff of Spherical Solutions & ECOWAS BLOC Buyers Group
(ECOWAS) who make great things happen in our region. They are filled with pride
for what each beneficiary has accomplished and hope for what they know they
will achieve in the future.
Spherical Solutions & ECOWAS BLOC Buyers Group (SSEBB) was founded with a vision of
what it takes to help our region succeed in poverty reduction, and over the
years, we have become an effective, results-oriented institution uniquely
capable of making a difference in the lives of our people.
Thank you for your continued support.
Warmest regards,
Razak Semodji Agbeviade (PhD)
