The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, through the Directorate of Strategic Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (SPME), organized a technical validation meeting on the 2025 Community Annual Performance Report (APR) from 20 to 21 November 2025 in Abuja, Nigeria.

The meeting brought together SPME Focal Points from ECOWAS Institutions, Departments and Agencies to review the draft 2025 Community APR. Participants examined the technical content of the report, assessed its coherence and consistency, and finalized its structure and presentation for institutional alignment.

The sessions also reviewed the challenges and recommendations identified during the reporting process to ensure they are actionable and clearly articulated in the final document.

The overall objective of the meeting is to validate the 2025 Community APR for submission to ECOWAS Management for adoption and subsequent presentation to the Administration and Finance Committee (AFC).

The key output of the meeting will be a reviewed and validated 2025 Community APR ready for Management’s consideration.
