The 2024 Retreat of Resident and Permanent Representatives, placed under the authority of the President of the Commission and represented by his Director of Cabinet, Mr. Abdou Kolley, was held from August 26 to 29 in Assinie. The theme for this year's retreat was "ECOWAS, 50 years at the service of West African integration, what perspective in a world of profound change?"
Following the 65th Ordinary Session of Heads of State and Government, the Resident and Permanent Representatives convened to support the development of ECOWAS' regional integration policy. The meeting aimed to propose strategies and mechanisms to strengthen regional integration and realize "the ECOWAS of the peoples," while sharing best practices to increase the visibility of ECOWAS actions in Member States.
Additionally, participants sought to review the past fifty years and discuss activities with a high community impact.
