The ECOWAS Commission functions as the executive arm of the Economic Community of West African States, a regional organization established in 1975 to pursue economic integration across multiple sectors. Based in Abuja, Nigeria, it implements policies, coordinates programmes, and leads development projects across member states, working with the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development as a key partner. Its portfolio includes infrastructure development, telecommunications, and enhancements in agriculture, energy, and water resources.

The commission serves West African member states, aiming to overcome barriers to regional integration and development. Through its efforts, it seeks to advance intra-regional connectivity and resource development in transport, energy, and related sectors. In 2026, ECOWAS advanced its regional digital transformation agenda with events such as a regional hackathon and the development of the ECOLink Manual of Procedure, and it inaugurated a new headquarters in Abuja named the Eye of West Africa.
