He enumerated some of the Community's achievements as well as problems impeding regional integration in West Africa. The Executive Secretary stated that this was an important session' of the Council of Ministers as it was expected to determine steps that could be taken to strengthen ECOWAS and enable it successfully carry out its role in the socio-economic development of the Member States. He expressed' deep gratitude to His Excellency General Gnassingbe EYADEMA, President of the Togolese Republic and Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government for his relentless efforts towards the attainment of ECOWAS objectives. He also expressed gratitude to His Excellency, President Olusegun OBASANJO and to the Nigerian authorities for their constant support and their unrelenting efforts to further the realisation of ECOWAS objectives. He stressed that the creation of the post of Minister of Cooperation and Integration within the newly-constituted Nigerian government was a powerful testimony to Nigeria's commitment to regional integration. 6. In his own speech, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Alhadji Abdou-Hamid S.B. Tidjani DOURODJAYE, Honourable Minister of Finance, Economy and Privatisation ofthe Togolese Republic, thanked the authorities of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the warm welcome accorded to the delegations. He warmly congratulated His Excellency Olusegun OBASANJO, on his election as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He prayed that the Almighty God would grant him the grace to enable him accomplish his task of directing the destiny of his great country for the benefit of the Nigerian people, Africa in general and ECOWAS in particular. The Chairman of Council then highlighted the major ECOWAS achievements pertaining to free movement of persons and the sectoral programmes on transport, telecommunications and energy. Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 3 I [ c c c c [ c c o c [ le c C [ [ [ C o C [ The Honourable Minister noted, however, that the integration of ECOWAS markets remained out of reach, essentially because most Member States had ,·failed to effectively apply the trade liberalisation scheme. He also pointed out that the Executive Secretariat was facing serious financial problems, due to the fact that Member States were owing the staggering sum of 37.2 million US dollars in unpaid contributions. The!Chairman of Council concluded his speech with a call to Member States to show greater commitment to regional integration. 7. Chief Phillip ASIODU, Special Adviser to the President of the Federal Republic ot-Nigeria on Economic Affairs, read a message addressed to the forty-fourth session of the Council of Ministers by His Excellency, Olusegun OBASANJO, PreSident, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In the message, President Obasanjo reiterated his government's determination to lay the foundation for lasting democracy in Nigeria by promoting the rule of law and protecting individual rights. He urged all Member States to ensure good governance in their countries in order to avoid incursions by the mili~ary into the political life of West Africa. President Obasanjo reiterated the need for the Executive Secretariat and the ECOWAS Fund to improve their operational procedures to adequately support the regional integration process. He noted that ECOWAS was making slow progress principally due to the failure by Member States to implement the Community programmes adopted by them as sovereign States, and their irregular payment of financial contributions to the budgets of the Community Institutions. President Obasanjo ended his message by reiterating the commitment of the government of Nigeria to step up its support for regional integration in ECOWAS, in orderto accelerate the socio-economic development of the West Africa region. 8. Mr. Sekou CONOE, representing the Secretary-General of the ACP Group, expressed the Group's support for the cooperation and integration efforts being undertaken in West Africa. He also touched on the Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 4 L o c o c o c o [ c c o c [ o [ [ [ [ [ incompatibility between the preferential tariffs envisaged in the Lome Convention and the World Trade Organisation's rules relating to liberalisation of world trade. He urged ECOWAS Member States to hold consultations among themselves to enable them adopt a common position during future European Union/ACP negotiations. Mr. Conde was also heartened at seeing the ECOWAS Executive Secretary participate actively in meetings of the ACP with the Europ.ean Union in connection with negotiations on the Lome Convention. Ill.

OUTCOME OF DELIBERATIONS Item 1: Presentation and consideration of the report of the Executive Secretary 11. The Executive Secretary, Mr. Lansana Kouyate, presented his interim report on the activities undertaken by the Community in 1999. The report highlighted the poor performance of the regional economy in 1998, noting that there was an overall drop in economic activity within ECOWAS, despite the favourable conditions observed in most of the countries. Real GDP growth rate fell during the period, from 4.3% in 1997 to 3.6% in 1998. The regional economy was adversely affected by the dramatic drop in the Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 6 LJ C [ Q C C [ C C D C o [ o [ c [ I [ [ C ! [ growth rate recorded by Nigeria which alone accounts for half of the region's GDP. The Executive Secretary stated that Member States should ensure· a more conducive economic environment and accelerate the integration of their economies in order to strengthen the development process in the West African region. 12,,' In· the chapter on the implementation of the Community work programme, the Executive Secretary reviewed activities carried out since the Council of Ministers last met in Abuja in October 1998. He mentioned in particular, the launching of the ECOWAS travellers' cheque, the organisation of the second ECOWAS trade fair, and the sectoral agricultural and industrial production programmes. Other areas highlighted were in connection with environmental protection, transport, telecommunications and energy, the operations of the ECOWAS Fund, movement ofthe Executive Secretariat from Lagos to Abuja; and the status of construction work on staff residences. The Executive Secretary also recalled the extremely dire financial situation of the Executive Secretariat and appealed to all the Member States to ratify the protocol relating to the Community levy without further delay, and include it in their national budgets. 13. On the subject of regional peace and security, the Executive Secretary hailed the emergence of a democratically elected civilian regime in Nigeria as a major political event which gives high hopes for peace and security in the region. He also informed the meeting of the outcome of the deliberations of the meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs held in Lome in May 1999 to discuss the situation in Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau and Niger. Significant progress has been made in these three countries with regard to the restoration of peace and democracy. 14. Sharing his reflections on elements of a realistic and pragmatic regional integration strategy, the Executive Secretary proposed that ECOWAS priority attention should henceforth be concentrated on Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 7 [ o c [ c [ 'G C C D o [ o [ iD [ [ [ o [ [ establishing a single regional market in West Africa which should follow the liberalisation of trade, adoption of a common external tariff, and harmonisation of the macro-economic policies of all Member States, areas in which ECOWAS still has much ground to cover. 15. The Executive Secretary concluded his report by pointing out that· the success of the proposed strategy would depend above all on the level of support it receives from Member States. 16. Council congratulated the Executive Secretary on the quality of his report. Following di·scussions on the issues raised there"in, Council took due note of the report and made the following observations and recommendations: i) analysing the economic situation in the region, Council expressed concern at the extremely low human development indices (HOI) recorded by most ECOWAS Member States, resulting in their being rated amongst the poorest countries in the world. Council noted that this situation is prejudicial to the attainment of a strong democracy and to regional peace and security. Consequently, Member States were urged to formulate and implement development strategies capable of placing economic growth on a firm footing in order to achieve more effective poverty reduction; ii} Council called on Member States to continue the macro­ economic policy reform needed to increase domestic savings and the inflow of foreign investment. iii) on the renewal of Lome Convention against the background of the ongoing ACP/EU negotiations, particularly with regard to the trade component, Council stressed the need for Member States to hold conSUltations and to evolve a common stance Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 8 L C [ o [ [ G C C C o o '0 [ [ [ le c o C I[ before the next ministerial meeting and the forthcoming summit of ACP countries taking place in the Dominican Republic in November 1999, and before the next WTO ministerial meeting in Seattle, USA. iv) on development issues, emphasis was also placed on the .,crucial importance of economic recov.e.ry in Nigeria for the region's growth and development. Council, in this regard, hailed the recent political and economic changes which had ushered in democracy in that country and welcomed the structural measures being taken, these being nec'essary to ensure recovery of the West African economy; v) Council noted that the lack of progress by ECOWAS was seriously undermining its credibility. Its shortcomings were directly attributable to the failure of the member countries to implement decisions to which they subscribe as sovereign States, and their irregular payment of financial contributions. Council urged Member States to show greater political commitment to regional integration; vi) Council expressed concern over the amount of US$37.2 million owed in contribution arrears to the Executive Secretariat and which was responsible for the institution's critical financial situation. Council enjoined all Member States which have not yet ratified the protocol on the Community levy to do so before the forthcoming statutory meetings; vii) Council also called on the Secretariat to adopt and implement a more dynamic information policy in order to extend the information outreach among the populace and economic operators, and raise their awareness of ECOWAS priority programmes; Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 9 L o [ [ C [ C o [ [ C [ [ [ ! [ [ [ :e viii) Council expressed support of the efforts being made to restructure the Executive Secretariat and the ECOWAS Fund as part of measures to improve operational procedures in the Community institutions; ix) Council welcomed the fact that the Executive Secretariat had embarked on the formulation of a,more effective framework for regional integration. It underscored the need to coordinate integration policies within the region. ECOWAS and UEMOA were urged to -harm'onlse their instruments and procedures in order to avoid a duplication of efforts which may impede the integration process in West Africa; x) with regard to the ECOWAS programme of harmonisation of economic and financial policies of Member States, Council requested the Executive Secretariat to classify the macro­ economic convergence indicators by order of priority and fix a time table for their implementation. This should be submitted to the Consultative Forum of Ministers of Finance and Planning and Governors of Central Banks for consideration and adoption. The Executive Secretariat should also seek the views of the Bretton Woods institutions on the matter and obtain their support in the implementation of the programme; xi) Council called on Member States to undertake and pursue economic reforms by adopting sound, coherent and uniform budgetary, monetary and trade policies that could boost growth and enhance regional integration. Such a strategy would ensure that all Member States move in the same direction and would facilitate the desired harmonisation of policies and realisation of other ECOWAS objectives; Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 10 Q C o ~~------------------------------------------------------------------------ u o o c [ [ o c C D o o c o xii) with reference to regional peace and security, Council expressed satisfaction at the signing of the Lome Peace Agreement between the Government of Sierra Leone and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). It called on the two parties to work to implement all the provisions of the agreement. Council also took note of progress being· made in the democratisation process in Niger and appealed to the authorities in the Republic of Niger to accelerate the return of the country to democratic rule. Item 3: Consideration of the reports of ministerial meetings, ad hoc ministerial committees and technical commissions. 3i) Report of Ministers of the Environment on the Sub­ regional Action Programme (SRAP) to Combat Desertification 17. The report was presented by the representative of Togo whose Minister of the Environment had chaired the meeting. 18. The Secretariat informed Council that: • ECOWAS and CILSS had worked together to draw up the programme. They carry out the coordination at regional level through the sub-regional coordination committee of which ECOWAS is chairman and CILSS acts as the technical secretariat. The committee comprises experts from Member States and sub-regional institutions working in the area of desertification control. Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 11 L o [ [ [ [ C [ C C o o o c [ c o [ c C • the relevant Ministers have designated focal points at the national level. These focal points contributed largely to the elaboration of the programme and are responsible for its follow-up. Council took due note of this information. 19. Council therefore recommended the Sub-regional Action Programme to Combat Oesertification for adoption by the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government. 20. The final report of the ministerial meeting bearing the signature of the chairman, the Togolese Minister of the Environment, should be transmitted to all Member States. 3i)bis Memorandum on West African representation on the Board of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) 21. The memorandum presented by the Executive Secretariat reports on the follow-up to the directive given by the Authority of Heads of State and Government at its October 1998 meeting in Abuja to the effect that "the Chairman of the Council of Ministers and the Executive Secretary should hold consultations with the CILSS Coordinator in order to ensure application of the decision taken by ECOWAS. The next nominations should ensure geographical balance between the two groups: countries in the Sahel and countries on the southern coast" . With respect to the present impasse on the non-implementation of Council Regulation Cl REG 14/12/95 therefore, the memorandum proposed: Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 12 C!I· / ////// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- L [ [ [ [ [ C o C C o C o o c c c o c [ Firstly, that two electoral colleges be created as follows: '. Electoral College A comprising countries which are Member States of both ECOWAS and CILSS; • Electoral College 8 comprising ECOWAS Member States which are non members of CILSS; and Secondly, that in electoral college B, Cote d'lvoire should be requested to relinquish its seat to Nigeria, having been on the GEF Board for five consecutive years. Nigeria's tenure will therefore span the period 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2002. 22. Having discussed the matter, Council observed as follows; i) Council noted with regret that its Regulation of December 1995 designating Cote d'lvoire and Nigeria to represent ECOWAS on the Board of GEF has never been fully complied with despite discussions with Mauritania, FEM and the CILSS Executive Secretariat; ii) Cote d' Ivoire's stand on the matter is fully justified in the light of the Regulation of the Council of Ministers. Cote d'lvoire cannot vacate its seat for Nigeria as this would be contrary to the 1995 decision of Council; iii) the instrument of GEF allows a State to choose to belong to one constituency or other. Council therefore reiterated that the director's seats allocated to West Africa must be filled by ECOWAS. Council took note of the information that the Executive Secretariats of ECOWAS and CILSS had both agreed that Chad cannot represent West Africa on the Board of GEF since that country is not a Member State of ECOWAS. Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 13 c ~ ~~------------------------------------------------------------- L C o C o o D [J o o c [J c o o o c [ c [ 23. Council therefore approved the following proposals: i) The countries of West Africa are to be divided into two electoral colleges reflective of the two main ecological zones in West Africa: .fElectoral College A: Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal. .fElectoral College 8: Benin, Cote d'lvoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo. ii) Only the countries on the lists of these two electoral colleges A and B may represent West Africa on the Board of the GEF. iii) the countries which now represent West Africa (Burkina Faso and Cote d'lvoire) will keep their seats until the end of their current term. They will be succeeded by Senegal and Nigeria respectively. iv) ECOWAS shall propose a system of rotation within each of these two groups at the next meeting ofthe Administration and Finance Commission with a view to its adoption by the Council of Ministers. v) When the system of rotation is definitively adopted, ECOWAS shall inform the GEF of the creation of the two electoral colleges and the existence of a system of rotation among the countries.

The report was presented by the Chairman of the meeting. Following discussions, Council re.quested further clarification on the changes which the Executive Secretariat was proposing to introduce into the new structure, especially the splitting of the post of Deputy Executive Secretary for Economic Affairs into two posts (one responsible for Community programmes and:the other for harmonisation of policies), the cancellation of the post of Financial Controller, transformation of the post of Personal Assistant to that of a Director, and the abolition of the rigid quota system where professional posts are permanently allocated to certain Member States. The additional information sought was provided by the Chairman of the Ad hoc Committee and the Executive Secretariat. 25. The Council of Ministers considered that the posts of Financial Controller and Internal Auditor should not be abolished. 26. Council also directed the Executive Secretariat to forward the memorandum on the restructuring of the Executive Secretariat to Member States, along with the currentand the proposed organisational charts, and the IDEP and ECA study reports. 27. Council directed the Ad hoc Ministerial Committee to meet before the next statutory meetings to draw up recommendations which will be submitted to the Community decision-making authorities. 28. Council approved that the following firms should be invited for interview for the post of External Auditors: KPMG (Lagos), COOPERS, L YBRAND and DIEYE (Dakar), and DELOITTE et TOUCHE (Abidjan). Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 15 c o o o [ G o C c o o o o o Q. D l [ [ :[ 29. Council endorsed the proposal of the ad hoc ministerial committee concerning the appointment of Dr. Kabba Joinner, a Gambian national, as Director .. General. of ,the West African Health Organisation (WAHO). In respect of the proposal of Professor M.A. Maiga from Mali as Deputy Director-General of· WAHO, Council deferred its decision until the additioJlal information sought by the committee regarding the procedure for his nomination is provided. 30. Council adopted. the list (hereto annexed) of substantive and alternate members of the International Jury for the award of the 1999 EC:OWAS Prize for Excellence. 31. Concerning the recruitment of statutory appointees, Council took due note of the information supplied to the Ad hoc Ministerial Committee by the Executive Secretariat. Item3.iii Consideration of the report of the ad hoc ministerial committee on the enhancement of the financial resources of ECOWAS FUND 32. The Deputy Minister of Finance of the Republic of Ghana, Honourable Victor SELORMEY, presented on behalf of the Ad Hoc Ministerial Committee, the report of the study on the transformation of the FUND. He stated that the DFC Consultancy firm recruited for the purpose had carried out the study in accordance with the terms of reference. 33. In his presentation, he highlighted the conclusions and recommendations of the study on the transformation of the Fund into a commercially-oriented holding company without losing sight of its development and integration objectives. The holding company, to be known as ECOWAS bank for Investment and Development (EBID), would have two subsidiaries, namely: Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 16 L [ [ [ o c o o o o o o o o o c o o [ c [ i) ~COWAS Regional Investment Bank (ERIB); and ii) ECOWAS Regional Development Fund (ERDF). 34. Aftercommending the Ad Hoc Ministerial Committee and the Experts for the excellent work accomplished, the Council of Ministers emphasised . during its deliberations that the activities in respect of the restructuring of the Fund had been going on for the past 12 years and had cost more than one million doUars (US$ 1,000,000). In the opinion of the Council, it was high time a final decision was taken. 35. The Council of Ministers was ofthe view that only a radical structural change would lead to the restoration of the Fund's credibility and enable private and non-regional partners to play an important role in the mobilisation of resources and investments Jor the institutions. The risks associated with any major activity would be accepted and controlled through the process. Council also stated that the community levy could be used to finance some of the costs relating to the contribution by Member States to the equity of the transformed Fund. 36. The. Council of Ministers directed that the Community should exercise caution in the implementation of the proposals to set up the holding company and its subsidiaries, bearing in mind the experience of the participation of non-regionals in other development institutions. 37. The Council of Ministers in conclusion, adopted the Report of the Ad Hoc Ministerial Committee and the conclusions and recommendations contained therein. Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 17 " }" L D C C o o c o D C o o o o o o c [ [ [ [ Item 3 iv Trade, Customs, Immigration, Money and Payments Commission 38. The report ofthe thirty-ninth meeting ofthe Commission focused on the following main issues: approval of new industrial products and enterprises to benefit from the ECOWAS trade liberalisation scheme; adoption of a Single Customs Document (SCD) 'recommendations contained:'in the final report of the 7th meeting of the Regional Organising Committee of the second ECOWAS Trade Fair Progress report on the ECOWAS Travellers Cheque funding of the ECOWAS Tourism and Leisure Fair 39. After discussions, Council approved the list of 193 new products submitted by 70 firms from 6 Member States, bringing the total number of products approved so far to 676. In all, 261 enterprises and twelve Member States are now participating in the scheme. 40. With respect to the trade liberalisation scheme, Council directed the Executive Secretariat to reflect further on the compensation mechanism for loss of customs revenue arising from trade liberalisation, and to present a report on it at its next session. 41. The Executive Secretariat was requested to expedite work on the study on the establishment of an ECOWAS common external tariff. 42. Council adopted the Single Customs Document, a specimen copy of which is attached in annex, along with the explanatory notes and instructions for use.

Council also approved the recommendations for improving the organisation of future ECOWAS trade fairs contained in the report of the Commission. 44. On the ECOWAS Tourism Fair, it was agre.ed that enlightenment seminars should be organised for economic operators in order to make them aware of the need for them to pay their own expenses and to participate more actively in the organisation of such events. Item 3v: Administration and Finance Commission 45. The items contained in the report of the Administration and Finance Commission are as follows: status report on tasks assigned to the Executive Secretariat; memorandum on quota posts; memorandum on sanctions imposed on Member States in arrears of contributions; memorandum on the Community levy; memorandum on payment of salaries for WAWA staff; report on the meeting of the ECOWAS Tenders Board for the award of the contract for the supplementary study on floating weeds in Member States. 46. On the issue of the tasks assigned to the Executive Secretariat, Council urged the Secretariat to establish priorities in the setting up of ECOWAS institutions, bearing in mind the finances of the organisation. 47. Council approved the recommendations of the Commission regarding the review of the rigid quota system where professional posts are permanently allocated to Member States. However, Council Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 19 u C C C o C: c o [I o o c c c [ [ o c Cl o o recommended that the Secretariat should give consideration to alternative methods adopted in similar regional organisations in West Africa, or in other international organisations. The priAciple of equitable geographical distribution stipulated in the revised Treaty should be defined. The Secretariat is requested to make simulations reflecting distribution of posts among Member States. 48. Council decided that recruitment should be on merit, taking into account the provisions of the revised Treaty and the different decisions of the Authority of Heads of State on this issue. Due consideration should also be given to the level of. financial contributions of Member States to the budgets of the ECOWAS institutions and to the principle of regional solidarity . 49. On the matter of sanctions, Council was of the opinion that they should be fully applied within the context of the decisions of the Authority and the provisions of the revised Treaty. Some delegations however, made a plea for leniency where special extenuating conditions could be cited. 50. Council endorsed the view of the Commission on the failure to achieve the number of ratifications necessary for the entry into force ofthe protocol on the Community levy as stipulated by the provisions of the revised Treaty. Council called upon those Member States which are yet to ratify the protocol to do so promptly. 51. In compliance with the decision taken by the Authority of Heads of State and Government at its 21 st session held in Abuja on 30 and 31 October, 1998, Council decided that a grant should be made by the ECOWAS Executive Secretariat to cover the emoluments of staff of the Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 20 o o o o o [ o [ c c [J c c o ~. o o Cl [ [ West African Women's Association. The emoluments approved by Council are as follows: Secretary General: 1000 dollars/month 2 Assistants : 750 dollars/month/person 52. With regard to the recommendations of the Tenders Board, Council requested the Executive Secretariat to negotiate with Ramboll, the firm which submitted the winning tender, to obtain their agreement to conduct the study within the approved financial ceiling Item 4: Consideration of the memorandum on the strategy to accelerate the regional economic integration process. 53. The Executive Secretariat presented this memorandum which set out a strategy that could accelerate the regional integration process in West Africa, with a view to the speedy establishment of a single economic zone within the sub-region. The memorandum suggested focusing priority attention on the creation of a regional market which would be built around trade liberalisation, a common external tariff, and macro-economic convergence. The Executive Secretariat was therefore seeking assistance towards the successful implementation of this ECOWAS priority programme from Member States and donors, especially within the framework of the European Union's Regional Integration Support Programme (RISP) contained in the Regional Indicative Programme of the Lome Convention. 54. After an exchange of views, Council commended the Executive Secretariat on the quality of its proposals and adopted the strategy as outlined. However, the Executive Secretariat was advised to extend the range ofthe policies for harmonisation to include accounting systems, and to draw up an implementation timetable for the strategy. Final Report of the 44TH Session of the Council of Ministers Page 21 L C Q C C [ C [ o [ o c c [ o c [ o o [ [ 55. Council enjoined Member States to support the Executive Secretariat in its efforts to attain the objectives of the strategy, calling on donors, especially the Bretton Woods institutions, African Development.Bank and the European Union, to assist the Secretariat in executing this important ECOWAS programme. 56. Regarding the evaluation of the achievements of ECOWAS dating from its creation, the Executive Secretariat was requested to conduct a detailed study outlining the successes, problems and prospects of the Community. Item 5: Any Other Business 57. The Council of Ministers approved the initiatives taken by the Secretariat in approaching donors and declared its political supportforthe following programmes aimed at enhancing sub-regional cooperation and development: the FAO special regional food security programme for ECOWAS Member States; and the programme to promote American investments in West Africa. 58. With reference to partnership between ECOWAS and the European Union, Council commended the ECOWAS proposal to formalise relations with the European Union at the highest level. The Secretariat was requested to reflect more deeply on the issue with a view to presenting a memorandum to Council at its next session. Proper consideration should be given to the activities of all the other West African intergovernmental organisations.

The conclusions one can draw from this situation is that the sub-region still has a lot to do to restore its eco!ooical balanCe, and to curtail the soreac anc ~ , aggravation of poverty which continues to affect an ever-increasing fringe of the population of V,jest Africa. Any effort to remedy the situation wiil require ensuring qualitative, evenly distributed growth. Such poverty alleviation measures may include investing in properly -identified soc:al sectors such as health, education and professional training; and also in the Natura! Resource management sector, in order to increase the output potential of rural areas. MACRO-ECONOMIC FEATURES Since the early 1990s, the international economy has been increasing characterised by the phenomenon of globalisation, l}1odifying the physiognomy of the different sectors and raising the stakes, particularly for countries in the West African sub-region. Stimulated by impressive improvements achieved in the area of infonnation technology, rapid expansion of capital flows and the integration of production processes, globalisation has given a big boost to the international economy. West Africa, in varJing degrees, has benefited from this new dawn of world economy as shown in tacle 1'10.1 (below) entitled distribution of countries according to growth of GOP between 1994 and 1997. j ,] ] J ] J J J J J ,j o J o ~ J ] J --J J 'J LJ o [ [ o c [ D C [ o c c o [ [ c [ [ c [ , ... .:., SOCIO - DEMOGRAPHIC F=,~ IUR~S: 1:12 United Nations has forecast that West Africa's total population will -rise to 2:C,S million by the year 2.0CO, a growth rate et 33% compared with tr.e 1993 figureS, Ccnsidering the present lifestyles which are cepencent en expicitation of mineral er:C natural resources, this acute annual growth rate ~er:urbs West A;~ica's agriciltuial ar:c: soda-ecological ec;uilibrium, i\lcst countries in West P-.fr.ca are c!as3i~cG among the least advanced countries Cil te pianet in terms of human cel/elopment. The Human Deve!opment Index cf the UNC,P, which serves to el/aluate social prGgress in terms ef health, education, life expectar:cy and living standard, shows ECOWAS countries as having an eXCeedingly low de'/e!opment rate. In fact. th~y are grouped among the poorest nations on ear:h. t\Jo ECOWAS count!)' features on the list of the hundred countries with the highest HO!. POl/erty in Africa has many dimensions. It is evident in the difficulty in obtaining potable water, the grossly inadequate health and educational facilities, the insufficient calorie intake and in the economic and social marginalisation. Average life expectancy in West Africa is 51 years as against 70 years in South America and 65 years in Asia. Burkina .. , Faso and Guinea have 'the lowest life expectancy in ECOWAS (45 and 46 years respectively). Ghana (57 years) and Cape Verde(66 years) have life expectancy rates nearest to to the average for Asia. Infant mortality in West Africa fell from 130 to 85 per thousand births between 1975 and 1995. It however rEmains higher than .Asia's 65 per thousand.

In Cote d' I','cire, Ghana and ~ligeria, indiscriminate bus~­ c:earing for itinerant, farming purposes has diminished the (hithelLo) dense foreSt. Thus, frem 1 seo to 19S0, nearly 12 million out of 14,5 million hectareS of forest was lest in Cete d' Ivoire. Entire, beautiful forests ha'ie cisappeared in Nigeria and in Ghana. in thcse ccuntries, the ftoristic compositicn has cceen altered as fcrests are transfcrr,;ec into sa'lannas susceptible to bush fires and water erosion. All over the sahelian countries, the balance of agrarian systems has been greatly distorted by recurrent drought and 'its effectson the human population. With considerably greater areas being put to farming, and the phenomenon being accompanied by massive deforestation, veri serious consequences have been noted: '. • • • • In Mali, 100,000 hectares par annum of new land is cleared and it is estim'ated that in the year 2,000 fuelwood needs will be 7 million tonnes, that is, several million hectares of forest; In Senegal, it is observed se'/eral millions of hectares of forest are cleared annually; the timber potential has fallen by 1 a millicn cubic meters and regressed by 80,CCO cerNeen 1981 and 1990; In Niger, the sp'read of farming to the ncr;, and the o'/er-exploitation of land rr.e2t:s that less lane is left fallow in the scum ,3rd each adciticnal innacltant me3ns 'J ~ nectar::: er land taker. up fer culti ' /2t:cn, :n th2t c:]untr; 2GO,CGO hsctares ~f 'W:C: reser/es cisappear each year, 'tIr,er-sas reforestation errors reach ocrsl'! 51~CC he::ares ~r::: year in mass plan tatier,; 'n ~I~ur;--""I~ ~~--' 'i'I'I'lng -nd .-'1''''- ~""-r"-r' "'~I'<::-'...j r'j ""irrl cr"'''''''' ~;r.:~~ I I 1/ C IlCl1 c, .:J<::::I\.!-!, • a ..01",11-: Il",J J·--;,II~"l \ ...

Despite the undeniable achievements of these organisations, the latest being the introduction of the ECO\VAS TraveUers Cheque designed to facilitate transactions between countries in the CF A zone and other countries, the fact remains that some major hurdles still remain on the path to integration, either with respect to production or through the market.

The effects of this desertification are considerable and often take dramatic forms especially in the sahelian region (food insecurity, impoverishment of the rural masses). inability to execute soda-economic development efforts in the countries affected. 1.1 The causes of desertification in West Africa Desertification is a complex phenomenon which manifests itself in the living standards and activities of people (cf Diagram No.1). In the case of our sub-region, the causes of the phenomenon lie essentially in the combination of human and natural climatic facters (~e:sistent bouts of drought), Among the human factors, one can cite notably: a) Abusive ar.d ina~oropriate e: ,':',:"""".-:".-.-j.c!i I1 -" 1.-.., 1 ... ..::li I-J r:!il .,;t::. j ::I.J, ...... .;, ' .....

Thus, . de'lelopment strategies remain country-specific and continue to be dictated by the peculiar situation of individual countries. Clearly, however, the key to a lasting solution to the problems of desertification and environmental degradation lies in adopting a strategic approach based on solidarity and sub­ regional and international partnership, given that these concerns cut across national boundaries. 2.2 Nature and scoae of strateaies. colicies and aooraaches develooed The droughts of the 70s heralded a departure from the usual methods of preparing strategies and plans for desertification centrol, first in the Sahe! and, later on, in the countries in the Gulf of Guinea.

Experience accumulated within the context of this strategy underscores the difficulties involved in applying desertification control. ~,lajcr probie:"s encountered are in relation to the low productive capacity of the lands under threat, lack of immediate profits, inclement climatic conditions, and the length of lime required before tangible results are perceived. The World Bank is wor',,:r,g in concert with many other institutions, nctably UNEP, to coilate data on the evolution of the environment. The FAO and UNOP-sponsored Tropical Forestrf Action Plan provides a 's~rategio framework. designed fer developing countries to refocus, e0hance 2nd harmonise their traditional forestry methods in favour of canser/ation, protection and regeneration, and the adoption of rational, sustained forest management policies. The five priority TFAP areas are as follows: forestry in land use; forestry industries fuelwood and domestic fuel; conservation of forestry ecosystems and forestry agencies The IUCN strategy was initiated in 1980 in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature and is financed by UNEP with assistance from FAO and UNESCO. Its objectives are nature conservation for sustained development, the preservation of genetic diversity and the sustained exploitation of species .and ecosystems. The Natural Resource Management and Rural Community Land Management Programmes are backed by the World Bank, U~jO~ and USAIO. The starting point of these programmes is the assumption that the traditional methods have failed. The rural land management programme is communal. holistic, integrated and decentralised, starting from the base and culminating at the apex. The strategy has been adopted b'J a number of bilateral cooperation agencies such as FAC, GTZ and EQF, and ::Iso b'J ~jGOs.

Observations: the first generation CILSS programme (1970 to 1982) cost nearly USS 2.5 billion; between 1975 to 1977 Senega! invested some 69 billions CFA, francs in 31 desertiflcation con trol project; b~tNeen 1983 and 1995 Cape Verde invested USS 12 million in various desertification control projects; in 1994, the World Bank financed 40 desertiRcation projec~s in arid zones to the tune of USS 1.85 billion. Cesertificaticn centrol projects and environmental management have mobilised extensive financial, human anc material resources since the 1970s. Howe'/er, the overall results achieved are only moderate and in some cases disappointing, considering the vast sums sunk into the projects and programmes. 3.1 Maior achievements . The various measures taken in the region and espacially in the Sahel to arrest desertification, have achieved the following results: the population of the region is aware of the pressing need to accord high priority status to desertification control; the new approach being adopted to desertification control provides for a higher level of mass participatio(1; the quality of producers associations has improved significantly and the producers are beginning to organise themselves into professional groups; there has been a quantitative and qualitative improvement of the personnel assigned to the promotion of research and de'/elopmen t; mere information is now available on the states of natural r~sources and the conditions of their deterioration and/or cestruction. institutions halfe been enhanced; appropriate legislation has been enacted to impro'/e nat'-.:ral resource management; i,e'N technologies are being prGmcted (CE3!c);:;,S: ir.~:r.J'/er: s:cres; solar energy, bicgas; butane gas eta .. ) ~"'r' \' I d I' ~, , r rl c,'on 'n-'" 'Irr'--""~I"; ~:""';fir-"""I' C':: ICU lura an .I'/::S,CCK p C ~U d cl.) .. ~.-::;::,)C ~ )";:: I, ,,~.::: J.

The number and diversity of natural resource managemef1t prans and strategies create duplication and coordination problems during implementation, and these are not successfully addressed by the different ministries, IGOs, NGOs, and partners for development; poor planning as well as the failure to ensure complementarity of measures adopted; insufficiency of govemment funds invested in control programmes; low level of involvement of the different stakeholders during the various implementation phases of the control programmes; inactivity of rural associations and NGOs in many countries; . inadequacy of data banks and absence of an effective information system to disseminate information on successful environmental techniques and technology; the failure of research systems to take due account of natural resource management needs. Natural resource management and desertifi~ation control in West Africa encounter problems requiring intensive research for the following reasons: to guarantee regular returns on capital in'/estment; to study the level of deterioration of the environment: to study the impact of human activit'J on tr'e I/olume and quality of natural resources ar.d disc:wer the production potential of these rescurces. faIlure to realise that cesertificaticn contrel measures and ~olicies in border lsnes must be cccrdinated from both s:(:'~s.

Assets Despite the effects of the various ecological and scda-econornic crises suffered by the regien, its countries dis~cse of assets which can be harnessed to achie'le sustained cevelopment. 1.1 Political and social assets The most important political asset which the region must preserve and utilise is the United Naticnas Convention to Combat Desertification in Countr.es Seriously Affected by Orought and/or desertification, Particularly in Africa. The convention is in fact a world pact to work in partnership to execute joint projects in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid zones subject to drought and desertificatian, with a view to laying the foundation for sustainable development. The second political asset is the fact that there has been a decade of relative political stability in most of the countries of the region, coupled with a powe!1uI movement towards democracy and decentralisation of power, decision-maki~g and management All these factors are conducive to a greater involvement of the different social and professional groups in development and in the formulation and implementation of national action programmes. Lastly, the phenomenon of globalisation and the increaSingly great risk of marginalisation fer small economies has been accompagned by a strcng political commitment to regional integration through the adoption of institutional and legal reforms in a number of social sectors. In terms of regional integraticn, there is an increased correlation between the day-ta-day e;:: i:"'~3:;. ::::.:: r~C(~8 er impiement2l!Cn (d th,,: ':?,::.:::, :!JI' ~12 ';u'c-::::,;icn, takir: l] (~I~': =::,~r:c:::-c.; r;i r[',8 cnncioie; Gf :;2ricicaiiGrl aid ::;~;r·J>~i')r!1J • • ,I ' ' ] J J J J ] ] ] ] ] J J ] o 3.

CROP AND TREE PEST CONTROL 6.1 Brief overview It is worth recalling that desertification is defined as the degradation of soils in arid, semi-arid, sub-humid and drj environment due to a variety of factors, including human aCtions and climatic factors·. In this definition, ·Soil" means the earth bioproductilJe system which includes, soils, plant and other IilJing organisms, as well as the ecological and hydrological phenomena which occur therein. Clearly, therefore the scope of desertificaticn control is not, nor can it be limited to soil protection or canser/ation. It must encompass plant protection, water conservation as well as preser/ation of other living organisms.

In the coastal areas, these periods ef drought have, in the past few years, had a '/er,! negative impact on their econemies. Indeed, the traumatic effects ef lew water level at the Akossombo dam on the economies of Ghana, Toga and Benin are still fresh in our memories. In our sub-region, timely forecast of some 'agra-hydra-meteorological phenomenalfactors is of vital importance to the survival bf millions of human beings and animal.' This allows actions to be taken within a reasonable time • frame, to neutralise and lor curtail the impact of the above factors .. . 'JVith assistance provided by some institutions, notably FAO, many countries have endeavoured to establish a national early warning system. The main function of theSe systems is to provide timely forecast of possible food crisis, identify and define the critical areas, and organise urgent food distributions. A nL;fficer of inadequacies have haws'/er teen oeser/ed in the existing systems: • coor harmonisation cf natienal sari" 'Narninn:j s'/stems; , " • inadec;uate awareness of tra r::::jicn's vulnerability, aeove ail, lat:k or monitoring methods ar,e 2 rI,a.c, siio'Nina hieh riSK zanes; e'/en thoucn ~ ~ ~ soela-economic andbioph'jslC3i data collection, storage and managerl.e:,[ S'jste:.1 e:: attendant riSKS, inclt.:ding foed insecurity and cegradation of natural resources, Mere specifically, this sub-prcgramme s:-:ould ccnsclicate sus-regie .... ::: capabilities in terms of: • Providing a c!earer understaneing ef the environment and the global feed situation; • Assessment cf the fragility of the human environment and settlements; • Determination of critical areas • Response to and management of drought -related scrisis, 7.3.

CHAPTER 1 STAKE HOLDERS AND ORGANS OF SRAP T:le multiplicity of institutions is a major feature cf the West African sub-iegicn. This situation leads to spatial overlapping in terms ef the areas of mandate covered by these institutions. The result is a duplication cf effcrts 'Nhich exacerbates rivalry, with eaC,1 organisation claiming to be duly mandated by various statulcrj bodies. ether categories of stakeholders also exist, such as the civil society (NGOs, women, ycuth and farmers' associations or scc:eties, etc) netwcr:,s, regional and intenticr.al research organisations, training institutions etc. The activities of ail these bodies, thrcugh laudable, are undermined by lack cf coordination, which reduces their actual impact in the sub region. The United Nations Convention'to Combat Oesertification, especially through its sub regional action plan, has opened opportunities for the various operators within West African to work together in a coordinated and concerted manner, as partners taking full advantage of the complementari~f of their areas of specialiation and / or their synergy. Stake-holders of the SRAP- WA are: • government institutions (The State and its organs) • SUb-regional cooperation agencies (inter ,governmental bodies and organisations) regional and international research networks and organisations, sub-regional training institutions,,,.); • Civil society organisations and societies (NGOs, women, youth, farmer's societies and private sector operators,,,); • Bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies, 1.

They are among these deserving of a sustain·ed attention with regard to management of shared resources. Ensuring that all these interested parties are active participants in the implementation of the SRAP is a critical factor in determining the level of commitment of stakeholders to the CCD. The roles and duties of the civil socie~J groups can be summed up as follows: • To participate in reflection, and in the dentification and optimsation of achievements made in the field of .desertification control; • To contribute to the preparation of projects and programmes; • To take active part in debates on management of shared natural resources, in consultations and sharing of experience; • To play their expected role in: -extending the information outreach and in awareness-raising campaigns targeting OCBs, NGOs and other players in the SRAP. creation of a technical and logistical framework of action for members of OCBs and NGOs in the activities of SP"O.,P; • To contribute to local and external financial resource mobilisation 1.3 ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS The SRJ..P is on opportunity to rene'N and enrich partnership rr::lations.

CHAPTER 2 PROCEDURES FOR DRAFTING AND IMPLEMENTIING PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS 1. P.ROCE'DURES FOR PROJECT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION This ,.~urrent SRAP document is not a project or programme document prepared for funding considerations. Rather, it is a strategic reference material, a guide to the identification of activities that might be judged relevant to sub­ regional needs. The actions proposed in the SRAP are not far immediate implementation, either in their totality or across the entire West African territorj. The implementation of the SRAP shall be an a sustained, continued and iterative basis. The activities to· be carried out are to be determined progressively, through concerted action and will be informed by the priorities and capabilities of the countries and stakeholders. More specifically, the SRAP shall be carried out in the following stages: 1 2 Based on the orientations set out in the SRAP basic document, a country, NGO/IGO or any other stakeholder (individually or in partnership with others) may at any time, pinpoint one or more activities depending on the needs of the populations. One or several project or programmes identification form(s) are then completed and fOlWarded to the relevant interest study group(s)- The forms are considered against priorities for the sub-region, macro­ economic exigencies and the financial capabilities of the relevant study group(s). Efforts shall always be made to ensure cohesion with en­ 'going or planned activities by the various stakehalders (confirm relevance, identify areas of inter/entien, determine areas of duplicatien and of synergy, rationalisation ef the activities). The final selection shall be made by the SCHC which wil! select the body to oversee preparation of the feasibility reports.
