Address by K. Y. Amoako Executive Secretary Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the twenty-second session of the assembly of heads of state and government of the economic community of West Africa states (ECOWAS). Mr. Amoako, on his remarks he focused on the challenge of poverty reduction and sustainable development in Africa, highlighting the link between conflict, poverty and sustainable development. For West Africa, the challenge of attaining sustainability conditions is greater than in other sub- regions-- although East Africa is not much better off. Poor governance, poverty and conflict feed each other and are the root causes of poor economic regress, and must be simultaneously managed in the process of economic reconstruction, recovery and development for the progress of Africa. ECOWAS has established the basic structures for the effective harmonization and co-ordination of some transport modes in the sub- region. Harmonization of highways- legislation in the sub- region has advanced far. The Trans- West African highway network linking all state capitals by road is almost complete. ECOWAS has also facilitated telecommunications links among all capital cities of its member states.
