dc.description.abstract | The Intergovernmental Committee of Experts is a body established by the United Nations General Assembly. In West Africa, it meets annually to discuss economic and social performance, based on working documents prepared by the sub regional office for West Africa of the economic commission for Africa (ECA/SRO-WA). The Intergovernmental Committee of Experts meets annually with high-level decision-makers from member states to discuss economic and social performance and make relevant recommendations. It is also the statutory framework reserved for member states to oversee the development and implementation of the office’s work programme and monitor its activities. The ICE provides guidance for the office's programmes by ensuring that sub regional priorities are included as much as possible. It also makes recommendations on economic and social development issues in the sub region. The twenty-first session of the ICE was held in Cotonou, at the request of the government of Benin. The central theme of the meeting is: “Regional integration in West Africa: new challenges and prospects”. This ICE session was preceded by an ad hoc expert group meeting from 25 to 26 June 2018, on the theme "Implications for potential applicants for ECOWAS membership". | en |
