Happy New Year and welcome to the latest episode of AfriCan Geopardy.

In this episode, we discuss the evolution of ECOWAS as it marks 50 years of fostering regional integration and development in West Africa. The discussion explores the transition from an "ECOWAS of States" to an "ECOWAS of the People," with our guest, Her Excellency, Ambassador Josephine Nkrumah highlighting the strides made in promoting economic cooperation, peace, and security.

We examined the challenges of making ECOWAS more people-centered, its role in addressing pressing regional issues, and the vision for the next 50 years. The discussion would not have been complete if we did not talk about the decision by Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger to leave the Community.

Join us for an engaging conversation about the past, present, and future of this vital regional bloc.
