The ECOWAS Peace Fund held a Technical Committee meeting on October 16, 2024, in Abuja, Nigeria. The session focused on evaluating project proposals submitted for potential funding. The committee included representatives from various departments within the ECOWAS Commission, such as Peacekeeping and Regional Security, Political Affairs, Education and Science, Humanitarian and Social Affairs, Legal Affairs, Budget and Treasury, Financial Reporting and Grants, Early Warning and External Relations.
The main goal of this gathering was to ensure that the proposed projects align with the operational windows of the Peace Fund. These initiatives are expected to contribute to the objectives outlined in the ECOWAS Conflict Prevention Framework. The review process plays a vital role in selecting projects that support peacebuilding, conflict prevention, and regional stability across West Africa.
This technical assessment is an essential part of managing the Peace Fund strategically. It ensures that funded projects are effective and aligned with ECOWAS’s Vision 2050: “ECOWAS of the people, peace and prosperity for all,” as well as broader goals for peace and security in the region.
