ECOWAS Commission intends to recruit the Members of the ECOWAS Regional Competition Authority
Council.

I. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
The ECOWAS Competition Framework was adopted in 2008 through two (2) Supplementary Acts:
Supplementary Act A/SA.01/12/08 adopting the Community Competition Rules and its application
modalities, the Supplementary Act A/SA.02/12/08 on the establishment, powers and functioning of the
ECOWAS Regional Competition Authority (ERCA) which was officially inaugurated on 12th June 2018 and
whose activities have effectively started in January 2019.

These two founding texts were amended and/or supplemented by new texts adopted in December 2021 by
the ECOWAS decision-making bodies (Council of Ministers and Conference of Heads of State and
Government).

In this regard, Additional Act A/SA/3/12/21 amending Additional Act A/SA.2/12/08 on the establishment, powers
and functioning of the ECOWAS Regional Competition Authority institutes the ERCA Council. The two entities
constituting ERCA are the Council and the Executive Directorate..
