Abstract:

In 2005, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) adopted the Common Agricultural Policy of ECOWAS (ECOWAP), as an instrument for implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP). The main goals of ECOWAP/CAADP were set to promote agriculture development and end hunger by 2025. In this study we focused on the Cabo Verde archipelago as one of the best performing countries within ECOWAS in terms of overall sustainable development. In this paper, the evolution of the ECOWAP implementation and of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) associated with ag

Abstract:

This study explores the role of ECOWA in the management of the post-2016 presidential electoral conflict in Gambia. The 2016 election was surprisingly won by the leader of an opposition coalition; Adama Barrow. Barrow defeated Yayha Jammeh, who had already won consecutively four previous presidential elections. This marked the terminal point of Jammeh’s 20-years rule of Gambia, marred with human rights abuses. Jammeh initially conceded defeat but later changed his mind after a week, thus triggering a major political conflict. For months, he made incessant desperate attempts to cling to power,

Abstract:

The agricultural sector in ECOWAS faces low exchange volumes compared to other regions. Developing agricultural production and trade is crucial for achieving food security, that is priority for member nations. Aimed and strengthening production systems enhance intra-community commerce and integrate regional markets. However, ECOWAS’s diverse agricultural potential is hindered by fragmentation and the difference in national interests, making integration vital for fostering intra-regional trade. We intend to identify the effects and influencing factors on agricultural commodity flows. The object

However, unlike the European equivalent which has been hailed as a tremendous success, the procedure has been a monumental failure in the ECOWAS framework, as not a single reference has emanated from any national court to the ECOWAS Court in the

Abstract:

The West African force known as the ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) was sent to Liberia by ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States). A closer look at the Force shows that it is an adaptation of the peacekeeping system used by the United Nations. What started as a system of collective security based on the regional security mechanism of ECOWAS turned into a standard peacekeeping operation as a result of “the Yamoussoukro process.”

Abstract The industrial sector has been identified as a tool for effective economic diversification among developing countries but major challenges of the sector have been the institutional and human capital in these economies. Consequently, the need to re-assess the relationship among the three is pertinent. The study investigates empirically, the impacts of institutional quality and human capital on the industrial sector growth of the ECOWAS. The methodology adopted is quantitative with the use of panel data analysis. Findings from the analysis show that both human capital and institutional

This study investigates the validity of a purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis in the ECOWAS. Secondary data on real exchange rates, domestic inflation rates, and foreign inflation rates were sourced from the World Development Indicators of the World Bank (2018). Unit root tests, Panel unit root tests, and panel cointegration tests were used to investigate the validity of the PPP hypothesis in the ECOWAS. The study found that the PPP hypothesis is valid individually in all the ECOWAS member countries. The results from the panel unit root tests also confirm the validity of the PPP hypothesi
