West Africa

Our priorities

Over the past years, West Africa made significant strides and remained largely and relatively peaceful. Our members in the region continue to work on strengthening the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Conflict Prevention Framework through National Architectures for Early Warning Early Response. The implementation of the peace agreement and related Security Sector Reforms from a human security perspective in Mali – and ensuring adequate continued international support for this - are other areas of priority.
