The main objective of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is to promote the free movement of persons, goods, and services within the sub-region. ECOWAS was formed to create a regional economic bloc that would promote cooperation and integration among West African countries. This includes removing trade barriers, facilitating the movement of people across borders, and harmonizing policies and regulations to promote economic development and growth. While ECOWAS has also pursued other objectives such as establishing a development bank and creating a common currency for the sub-region, the primary goal remains to promote regional integration and economic cooperation.
