EU Urges ECOWAS To Develop Long Term Conflict Prevention Plan

[ChannelsTV]

The European Union has urged the ECOWAS commission to develop long term plans for conflict prevention in the region.

Country Representative of the EU in Nigeria, Mr. David Macrae gave the advice at a meeting of ECOWAS officials and development partners in Abuja.

Mcrae said the Mali crisis has rocked the foundations of regional peace and stability in the sub region and assured that the EU has mobilized significant resources to restore peace in that country

The meeting's discussion was centered on the status of the region's integration projects and the ongoing efforts at institutional reforms in order to improve the performance of the commission.

Food security, agricultural development and human resource development are also part of the priority areas. But the success of regional integration plans is indeed hinged on peace and stability.
