ECOWAS Commission Unveils Revamped Website in Honour of 50th Anniversary.
By Raymond Enoch
In a bold stride toward digital transformation and deeper regional engagement, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has officially launched a newly revamped website — www.ecowas.int — in celebration of its 50th anniversary.
The unveiling of the redesigned website marks a significant milestone for the ECOWAS Commission, whose Communications Directorate spearheaded the project as part of a broader commitment to modernizing digital communication tools across the institution. With five decades of regional integration, peace-building, and economic cooperation behind it, ECOWAS is stepping confidently into the future — and its new digital face reflects that ambition.
“This revamped website is more than just a cosmetic change; it is a strategic leap forward,” said an official from the ECOWAS Communications Directorate. “We are entering a new era, one in which communication, transparency, and citizen engagement must be dynamic and digital-first.”
Designed in the institution’s signature colours, the website presents a sleeker, more modern interface. Beyond aesthetics, the redesign is centered on enhancing the user experience with intuitive navigation, improved accessibility, and interactive features tailored for a diverse regional audience.
From policy documents and project updates to press releases and multimedia content, users can now explore a wealth of information with ease. Embedded social media tools and responsive design ensure that citizens can engage with ECOWAS activities across devices and platforms.
The new website is more than a communication platform — it is a symbol of ECOWAS’ renewed commitment to transparency, regional inclusion, and digital innovation. By fostering a more engaging online presence, the Commission seeks to build stronger bonds with the 400+ million citizens of West Africa.
As the organisation celebrates 50 years of unity and progress, the website stands as a beacon of a modern, more accessible ECOWAS — one ready to lead the region into its next chapter.
