About this publication
From FTA Negotiation to Regional Industrial Partnership
A non-binding Canada–ECOWAS FTA+ strategic concept linking prospective market access with regional production, processing, services, SME participation, Atlantic gateways and productive investment. It examines 12 ECOWAS economies, development-sensitive tariffs, regional cumulation, agri-food and mineral-processing opportunities, Montreal–Eko Atlantic coordination, the Gulf of Guinea distribution network and an illustrative US$20bn utilisation simulation. It proposes an initial 90-day technical scoping process rather than claiming an official negotiation or mandate.
