ECOWAS is considered one of the pillars of the African Economic Community. It was set up to foster the ideal of collective self-sufficiency for its member states. As a trading union, it is also meant to create a single, large trading bloc through economic cooperation.

With support of the EU and the continued implementation of our cooperation under the AGoSE project on energy governance, aim of this programme is to bring together regional partners in order to foster cooperation and to improve Energy Governance with the help of  discussions between stakeholders and best practice examples.
