ECOWAS developed the ECOWAS Agriculture Policy (ECOWAP), which remains the guiding document for managing and governance agriculture in West Africa. The ECOWAP, launched in 2005, two years after the development of CAADP, is neatly linked with CAADP and continues to be designed, domesticated, and reviewed in line with the CAADP. ECOWAP @10 was celebrated in 2015 and re-designed to serve as a working document until 2025. To this effect, ECOWAS Member States have had their National Investment Plans and the Regional Agricultural Investment Plan as instruments to reflect the ECOWAP/CAADP initiatives. It is, therefore, imperative that CAADP, ECOWAP, RAIP, and NAIPs are due for review and re-design.
