Our roadmap for strengthening West Africa's investment ecosystem and driving sustainable economic transformation across the region.
IPAWAS's 2025-2027 Strategic Framework outlines five key priorities that will guide our efforts to enhance investment promotion capacity, facilitate cross-border investment flows, and position West Africa as a competitive and reliable destination for sustainable investment.
Building robust, efficient, and professional Investment Promotion Agencies across all 12 member states to effectively attract, facilitate, and retain quality investments.
Creating coordinated, multi-country approaches to promote West Africa as a unified investment destination and maximize the region's competitive advantages.
Streamlining processes and reducing barriers to enable seamless investment flows across West African borders in alignment with AfCFTA objectives.
Establishing comprehensive, data-driven platforms for investment monitoring, analysis, and decision-making through the West Africa Investment Intelligence System (WAIIS).
Strengthening relationships with ECOWAS, WAIPA, development partners, and other key stakeholders to amplify impact and secure sustainable support.
Conduct capacity assessments, finalize WAIIS development, establish partnership frameworks, and launch initial training programs. Begin coordinated regional investment promotion activities.
Roll out comprehensive capacity building programs, execute joint promotion missions, deploy WAIIS across member states, and strengthen cross-border facilitation mechanisms.
Measure impact of strategic initiatives, refine programs based on results, showcase success stories, and develop the next strategic framework for 2028-2030.
Through focused execution of these strategic priorities, IPAWAS aims to significantly strengthen the investment promotion capabilities of member IPAs, increase investment flows to West Africa, and enhance the region's position as a competitive and reliable investment destination.
