The Economic Community of West African States is taking steps to involve citizens more in regional governance. This involves making the Economic and Social Council, known as ECOSOCC, ready for use.
A three-day meeting is currently underway in Accra. Experts and ministers from ECOWAS member states are attending this important event.
The ECOSOCC platform is designed to be a way for citizens to contribute their views. It will help shape policies and decisions for the region.
Officials at the meeting are discussing how to best implement ECOSOCC. They aim to make sure it is effective and reaches all citizens.
This initiative highlights ECOWAS' commitment to a more inclusive approach to regional development and cooperation.
