The ECOWAS TPO Network is a public-sector led entity mandated to work in partnership with the ECOWAS commission to drive inclusive trade development initiatives within West Africa and beyond. The network looks into the importance of Trade Promotion Organisations in accessing new markets and establishing linkages between local and international businesses. If soundly operationalised, this new mechanism of TPO Network should help a great deal in boosting trade among ECOWAS member states, boost and deepen economic integration in the sub- region.
