Intervention Areas
Following a diagnostic
analysis of development trend in the
ECOWAS Region, the Ecowas Project
Development Commission (ECOWAS-AP)was
developed around four (4) priority
areas, which represent the level of
response to be provided to the five
(5) major challenges identified in
the region: (i) issue of governance,
(ii) low level of intra-regional
trade; (iii) challenges of
competitiveness, (iv) low coherence
of programmes; and (v) challenge of
