ECOWAS aims to unlock citizens' potential through human capital development

ACCRA, May 9 (Xinhua) -- The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is implementing strategies to unlock the full potential of its citizens through human capital development, a senior official has said.

Damtien Tchintchibidja, the vice president of the ECOWAS Commission, said during the 2024 ECOWAS Human Capital Development Technical Conference in the Ghanaian capital of Accra that since West Africa's population is young, the region needs to advance the potential of the youth to ensure a sustainable path toward economic and social advancement.
