[ECOWAP] ECOWAS Holds Consultations with Member States for a Post Malabo Agenda

[ECOWAP] With the Malabo Declaration ending in 2025, ECOWAS and the African Union are developing a new 10-year agenda for the region. This process involves stakeholder consultations, research, analysis, and political mobilization, culminating in a declaration of the new agenda by January 2025. The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), Malabo Declaration emphasizes involving public and private stakeholders in African agricultural transformation. In this context, the ECOWAS Commission’s Directorate of Agriculture organized a meeting in Abuja, Nigeria, from June 12-14, 2024, to review the ECOWAS Agriculture Policy (ECOWAP) to ensure its consistency, relevance, and complementarity, and to avoid duplication of efforts.
