Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the Retreat of ECOWAS Ministers of Finance and Regional Integration. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, ECOWAS is one of the successful Regional Economic Communities (RECs) on the continent. Unlike the other RECs which cut across sub-regions and therefore difficult to manage, ECOWAS covers only the West African sub-region. This retreat is appropriate and timely as it offers an opportunity to reflect on the challenges we face and in the end chart a roadmap, which would lead us to the full integration of the sub-region as well as strengthen our continental integration agenda. Trade between ECOWAS member States would not be improved with the current quality of our infrastructure. Transport infrastructure and services should be improved through maintaining and rehabilitating existing roads, expanding the road network to isolated areas, improving railways network, replacing obsolete and inappropriate equipment at ports, developing more dry ports to serve both landlocked countries and interior areas of coastal countries, and increasing air transport connectivity in the sub-region.
