Approach

Activities

• Public-Private Dialogue: Bringing the public and private sectors together to prioritize issues and to set the reform agenda.
• Peer-to-Peer Learning: Disseminating and sharing regional best practices in investment policy across the region.
• Scorecard: Benchmarking and monitoring reform progress at the national and regional levels. The ECOWAS Investment Climate Regional Scorecard was launched in June 2017. It is an innovative instrument that provides a snapshot of the investment landscape in a Member State and enables both the ECOWAS Commission and national policy-makers to share good practice and identify, prioritize and achieve reform goals collaboratively. The Scorecard is updated annually by national/regional policy-makers and evaluators.
