CULTIVATING A GOLDEN LEGACY: ECOWAS AT 50 AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF WEST AFRICAN AGRICULTURE
As ECOWAS marks its 50th anniversary, the sub-region stands at a juncture of advancement and change. ECOWAS has promoted regional integration and economic development since 1975, but its most significant success is in the area of agricultural policy.
