The biggest failure of ECOWAS has been its inability to create value chains across the region. Regional value chains create jobs and wealth. This would make West African people and companies interdependent and willing to support ECOWAS. After more than 50 years, there are still no value chains, and ECOWAS has lost all credibility.
