The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a regional organization established in 1975 to promote economic integration, peace, and development among its member countries. With fifteen nations working together, ECOWAS seeks to strengthen trade, foster free movement of people, and create a stable environment for investment. It also plays a vital role in conflict resolution, regional security, and humanitarian support. Over the years, ECOWAS has launched initiatives in infrastructure, agriculture, and energy, aiming to improve living standards across West Africa. Despite challenges, it remains a key driver of unity and progress in the region.
