Regional trade and investment are critical drivers of economic growth. WACSOF champions policies that enhance the ease of doing business, reduce trade barriers, and promote regional economic integration under the ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

We work to empower local entrepreneurs, encourage cross-border partnerships, and attract sustainable investments that benefit communities. By addressing issues like informal trade, infrastructure deficits, and unequal access to markets, WACSOF aims to create an inclusive and vibrant economic environment in West Africa.
