Project objectives

In-depth interviews with each ECOWAS member states on their CCB needs. Increased participation of ECOWAS countries in GFCE initiatives, including the AUGFCE project and the CCB Coordination Committee.

Description

Through participation in GFCE workshops, ECOWAS countries are further engaged in identifying CCB needs, sharing knowledge and best practices, and setting CCB priorities. This will take the form of a White Paper that contains the following elements:

• Identifies CCB needs in the ECOWAS region, based on the workshop feedback, as well as from ongoing GFCE initiatives in the region (the AU_GFCE project and the KPMG produced report);
• Delivers recommendations for a 3-year West African – G7 CCB programme and the establishment of a ECOWAS – G7 CCB platform.
