ECOWAS
ECOWAS: Economic Community of West African States. Established in 1975. It consists of the members of the West African Economic Community (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal), the members of the Mano River Union (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone), and Cape Verde, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria and Togo. ECOWAS was only partly successful in achieving its trade liberalization aims. It was relaunched in 1993 with a program for free trade in all unprocessed products and progressive liberalization of trade in industrial products. Members are also working towards the creation of a customs union. A program is also under way for the free movement of persons throughout ECOWAS. Its secretariat is located in Lagos.
