Abstract

Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a sub-regional organization in West Africa set apart to improve the economic condition and the general well-being of the member state. Recently political instability, inter and intra-state crisis, electoral violence and political conflicts became a big challenge to the region and no state or sub-region can achieve any meaningful economic development without a peaceful environment. The paper discussed ECOWAS, its aim, objectives’ and its conflict management enhancement strategies. It also highlighted some conflicts’ which it has managed in the sub-region, its prospects and retrospects in the region. Secondary source of information was used and the paper recommends speedy intervention before any crisis reaches a climax of war and destruction of lives and property in any state or inter-states.
