Retreat of ECOWAS Ministers of Finance and Regional Integration :statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN under-secretary-general and executive secretary of ECA

Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN undersecretary-general and executive secretary of ECA on retreat of ECOWAS Ministers of Finance and Regional Integration. ECOWAS is one of the successful Regional Economic Communities (RECs) on the continent. Unlike the other RECs which cut across sub-regions and therefore difficult to manage, ECOWAS covers only the West African sub-region. This puts it in an enviable and unique position to develop and pursue an integration agenda that would drive the African Union's continental integration agenda. Despite the successes you have chalked and being seen as the most advanced REC on the continent, This retreat is therefore appropriate and timely as it offers an opportunity to reflect on the challenges we face and in the end chart a roadmap, which would lead us to the full integration of the sub-region as well as strengthen our continental integration agenda.
