Sommet de l'UA à El-Alamein : Diomaye Faye présente les avancées de la CEDEAO et annonce l'éco pour 2027
The current Chairman of ECOWAS, the Head of State of Senegal Bassirou Diomaye Faye, took part this Sunday in El-Alamein, Egypt, in the 8th Semi-Annual Coordination Meeting of the African Union and Regional Economic Communities.
Addressing his peers, the President of Senegal presented the state of integration in West Africa. Among the key announcements were the Pact for the Future, adopted in Lungi last July, which charts the course for a more resilient region, and, most importantly, the decision by the heads of state to launch the single currency, the Eco, in 2027.
The ECOWAS biometric identity card, which facilitates the movement of citizens and the progressing interconnection of the electricity networks of fifteen West African countries, was also highlighted.
On the security front, the Head of State indicated that, faced with the terrorist threat, ECOWAS has strengthened its collective security mechanisms. The organization is also continuing its dialogue with the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) "to preserve the ties between the peoples and the gains of integration."
Bassirou Diomaye Faye also argued that the AfCFTA should fully benefit African economies, through the transformation of resources locally and through infrastructure corridors that connect markets.
He finally commended Ghana and Togo, which successfully brought to the United Nations, on behalf of Africa, the Declaration on the Slave Trade in Africans and the "Correct the Map" resolution.
ECOWAS, under the Senegalese presidency, has set itself the ambition of bringing the community together and putting citizens back at the heart of regional integration.
