Le projet de renforcement des capacités d’alerte précoce et de réponse de la Communauté économique des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO), financé par la Banque africaine de développement (BAD), est entré dans sa phase active. C’est à la faveur d’une retraite qui a démarré le lundi 10 novembre 2025, à Zuma Rock, dans l’État du Niger, au Nigeria.

 

L’objectif global du projet est de renforcer la capacité d’alerte précoce de la CEDEAO à détecter, anticiper et prévenir les crises de sécurité humaine en Afrique de l’Ouest, contribuant du coup à la paix, à la stabilité, à l’investissement et au développement au niveau régional. De façon spécifique, le projet vise à faire de la prévention un principe directeur des approches d’alerte précoce et de réponse aux crises, à intégrer les aspects de genre et de changement climatique dans le système d’alerte précoce pour une approche plus complète, et à accroître la capacité de la région ouest-africaine à résister aux chocs climatiques et à d’autres facteurs de fragilité.

 

D’un coût de deux millions sept cent mille (2 700 000) dollars américains, le projet sera mis en œuvre sur deux (2) ans par la Direction de l’Alerte précoce de la Commission de la CEDEAO, conformément à l’accord de projet signé entre cette dernière et la BAD en mai 2024. Le projet est piloté par une Unité de gestion composée de chargés d’approvisionnement, de comptables, d’un responsable de la communication, d’un spécialiste du suivi et de l’évaluation, de consultants et de personnes ressources. Cette unité est coordonnée par Komi Koko Bossou, administrateur du système ECOWARN à la Direction de l’Alerte précoce de la Commission de la CEDEAO.

 

Le projet comporte essentiellement trois composantes : les évaluations de la résilience des pays et de la sécurité humaine ; le renforcement du réseau d’alerte précoce de la CEDEAO par la modernisation de son infrastructure de collecte de données, ses capacités d’analyse et son interopérabilité avec des outils d’intelligence artificielle ; ainsi que le renforcement des capacités des analystes.

 

Le projet prévoit également des évaluations contextuelles des risques et des analyses de la sensibilité aux conflits dans les États membres de la CEDEAO, afin de renforcer la prévention et la résilience dans les opérations de la BAD. Ces évaluations devront intégrer des indicateurs sensibles au genre, identifier les vulnérabilités structurelles et soutenir les stratégies de prévention des conflits grâce à une analyse fondée sur des données.

 

 

 

 

Durant les quatre jours de la retraite, l’équipe de l’Unité de gestion du projet et le personnel de la Direction de l’Alerte précoce devront actualiser le plan de travail global, le calendrier et les composantes du projet, et peaufiner la stratégie de communication pour une meilleure visibilité des activités.

 

Ils auront aussi à mettre à jour le plan de passation des marchés et à s’accorder sur le cadre de suivi-évaluation devant garantir la réussite complète du projet. Les termes de référence des activités non encore entamées seront également élaborés au cours des travaux.

À l’ouverture de la retraite, la Directrice de l’Alerte précoce de la Commission de la CEDEAO, Dr Onyinye Onwuka, a invité les membres de l’Unité de gestion à œuvrer pour la réussite du projet.

H.E. GENERAL BIRAME DIOP AND HON. JUSTICE RICARDO CLÁUDIO MON-TEIRO GONÇALVES ADVANCE A SHARED VISION FOR STRONGER INSTITUTI-ONS, RULE OF LAW AND REGIONAL INTEGRATION The President of the ECOWAS Commission, H.E. General Birame Diop, and the President of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, Hon. Justice Ricardo Cláudio Monteiro Gonçalves, have reaf-firmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation among ECOWAS institutions, promoting the rule of law and advancing regional integration during the Commission President’s official visit to the Court in Abuja. The meeting underscored a shared determination to reinforce institutional effectiveness, democratic governance and citizen-centred development as key pillars of the ECO-WAS Vision 2050. Addressing members of the Court and the Commission delegation, H.E. General Birame Diop emphasized that ECOWAS stands at a critical juncture in its history and must collectively res-pond to the challenges facing the region across the areas of integration, peace and security, governance, democracy and sustainable development. He stressed that strong institutions remain indispensable to the success of the regional project and called for closer collaboration among the Community’s principal organs while preserving their respective mandates and inde-pendence. The President of the Commission further highlighted the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the executive, judicial and legislative institutions of ECOWAS. Drawing a pa-rallel with the governance structures of modern states, he noted that effective regional gover-nance depends on institutions that are independent, credible and capable, while working toge-ther in pursuit of a common objective: the prosperity, stability and well-being of the peoples of West Africa. In his remarks, Hon. Justice Ricardo Cláudio Monteiro Gonçalves welcomed the Commission President to the Court and expressed confidence that the new leadership of the Commission would provide renewed momentum to the Community and its institutions. He underscored the importance of solidarity, fraternity and mutual support among ECOWAS institutions, noting that a stronger Community can only be built through closer cooperation and a shared com-mitment to serving the citizens of the region. The President of the Court also reaffirmed the judiciary’s readiness to contribute to the realiza-tion of the Community’s objectives and praised the Commission President’s distinguished in-ternational experience and leadership credentials. He expressed optimism that the new man-date would further strengthen the foundations of regional integration and enhance the effec-tiveness of ECOWAS in addressing the expectations of its Member States and citizens. The discussions highlighted a strong convergence of views on the central role of the rule of law, institutional dialogue and mutual respect in advancing the ECOWAS integration agenda. Both leaders emphasized that independent institutions are not instruments of competition but part-ners in a common endeavour to build a more peaceful, democratic, prosperous and resilient West Africa. The visit further provided an opportunity for both institutions to reaffirm their commitment to deeper engagement, stronger coordination and continuous dialogue in support of the Commu-nity’s strategic priorities. It also reflected a shared understanding that the success of ECOWAS depends not only on the strength of its institutions but also on their ability to work collectively in delivering tangible benefits to the citizens they serve.
