Abstract

The new global development agenda, the sustainable development goals (SDGs), accord critical roles to regional integration as part of the major springboards that can enhance rapid development outcomes, especially in the developing world. Given the ambitious nature of the new world development order, collaborations that leverage on local knowledge remain germane to the realisation of SDG targets. In this regard, the study provides a concise critical appraisal on the extent to which ECOWAS has been able to foster effective and deeper integration in West Africa. Based on selected review of appropriate literature, the study assesses the degree to which the organisation has been able to achieve its agenda, focusing on the successes and challenges recorded, as well as political commitments to the regional body. Of particular importance is the extent to which ECOWAS takes cognisance of the need to re-shape its agenda towards fostering an all-inclusive education in the region.
