The project provided technical assistance to provide guidelines for the harmonisation of business law in the ECOWAS region. It also supported the production and technical validation of a limited number of draft harmonised acts in priority areas as well as the implementation of advocacy and communication strategies. The specificity of the project was the inclusive involvement of the private sector in the process of business law harmonisation in the region.
The ICR Facility supported FEWACCI (Federation of West African Chambers of Commerce and Industry) on the promotion of business law harmonisation in ECOWAS Member States (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo).
A study report on the harmonisation of the business law was developed and shared with FEWACCI. A shortened version of the report was published and is used by FEWACCI to communicate with policymakers on the topic.
This intervention took place under ICR Facility project, co-funded by the European Union (EU), the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), together with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the British Council. The ICR Facility was implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (German Development Cooperation, GIZ), the British Council, Expertise France, and Stichting Nederlandse Ontwikkelingsorganisatie (Netherlands Development Organisation, SNV).
