ECOWAS turns 40: Achievements and lessons learnt
As Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) turns 40 years in 2015, the regional office of Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) commemorated the anniversary of its long time partner with a special edition of the “Abuja debate” which witnesses not only a heated discussion by the distinguished panelists but also a literary/poetry initiative with a blend of music by talented and vibrant young individuals which represents the next generation of ECOWAS of the people.
The event was held on the 16th June 2015 in Abuja, Nigeria. The debate focused on “ECOWAS 40 years: achievements, lessons learnt and prospects, future trends of regional human security and democratic issues at stake”.
