The Commission of the Economic Community of West African states (ECOWAS) a
regional organization with its headquarters in Abuja, Nigerian, seeks to recruit
qualified, capable and result oriented Communication/Mobilisation Agency
(Consultant) to coordinate
and operationalise the ECOWAS Private Sector Award
for Entrepreneurship and Innovation
A. THE CONSULTANT
The consultant would be a registered company in a Member State of ECOWAS
engaged in Marketing, Communication and Events management with at least 5
(five) years experience and capacity to produce materials/reports in at least two
of the ECOWAS official languages – English, French and Portuguese.
Experience in Entrepreneurship and business development will be an added an
advantage
B. ECOWAS PRIVATE SECTOR AWARD FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND
INNOVATION (EPSAP)
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The promotion of entrepreneurship, innovation and inventiveness, particularly
through Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), in developing mixed market
economies like ours has been accepted as a basic component in the overall
strategy for attaining higher levels of resource employment, poverty alleviation
and development. Indeed, the experiences of developed countries like the United
2
States, France, the United Kingdom, etc; ‘emerging market economies’ like China
and the Asian countries which adopted the private enterprise model have
confirmed the effectiveness of this strategy. Contemporary international
phenomena like globalization and liberalization, NEPAD and the Millennium
Development Goals, the Fight against Poverty, and the envisaged Economic
Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union, etc have further
underscored the need to emphasize entrepreneurship and innovation in all forms.
Within the context of regional integration, this strategy can also promote regional
competitiveness and a balanced integration into the global economy.
Strong partnership between government and the private sector in our economy
can create the enabling investment climate and a capitalist class, which can
compliment and provide synergies to government initiatives. This partnership has
become urgent now because of the increasing insufficiency of public funds
available for development due to shrinking revenue bases and donor fatigue (now
donors give more prominence to projects/programmes having a higher
sustainability index. Besides, the growing complexities of contemporary societal
development and the challenges of daily subsistence for the population can be
better managed in partnership with all stakeholders, especially the private sector
by laying more emphasis on technology and adaptation of concepts, creativity and
innovation.
Unfortunately, until very recent times, the promotion of entrepreneurship and
innovation has not been given sufficient attention by development actors in the
ECOWAS region.
Existing entrepreneurs including outstanding ones and facilitators are not
celebrated nor adequately engaged as change agents in our economy, while new
and potential ones are not even recognized let alone nurtured. The end result is
regional economies that are over politicized and with lopsided development as
proven and ambitious entrepreneurs abandon business and seek vent in politics
to showcase themselves and their contributions to development, while the
growth of new and potential entrepreneurs and innovators are either stultified or
stifled outright. This scenario thus perpetuates the vicious circle of poverty in our
region and the EPSA Program has been initiated to contribute to the reversal of
this scenario.
The ECOWAS Commission (through the Private Sector Directorate) is the lead
agent for the EPSAP. Each year, a number of Champions ‐ EPSA Patrons ‐ will be
appointed to promote the years’ program across the region and beyond, with the
support of a lead regional marketing agent. Other partners will include Members
States, business groups/associations, NGOs and development partners.

2. OBJECTIVE
The EPSA seeks to strengthen and celebrate private enterprise and innovation to
grow the population of entrepreneurs and enhance the capacity of the private
sector to partner with the other sectors and fulfill its role as the engine of growth.
The program covers all potential and existing business operators and operations
including primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Supporting institutions like

BACKGROUND
The Heads of States adopted in June 2007, at the 32nd summit of ECOWAS a new approach to integration, known as “Vision 2020″.
The Vision aims at a transformation, by the year 2020, from an “ECOWAS of States” into an “ECOWAS
of peoples”. This new vision calls for a more participatory, more democratic and more efficient process of regional integration, in which all sectors and all stakeholders – state and non-state – of all Member States will effectively take
part.
It is in this context that the Heads of State directed the ECOWAS Commission to design an integrated regional
development program, called the “Community Development Program” with the view to implementing Vision 2020.
The ECOWAS Commission retained a strategic orientation and institutional framework around which the CDP should
be developed. Regarding the institutional framework, the establishment of a Coordinator’s Office was proposed to serve
as the linchpin for the development of the CDP. As such, a Coordinator was recruited in January 2009 to head the
Office. It is expected that the capacity of the Office will be built to make it more operational and efficient in
accomplishing the tasks it has been assigned.
In fact, the CDP should serve as a reference platform for ensuring coherence of ongoing and future development
programs within the ECOWAS region. Also, given the participatory approach advocated, the development process of
the CDP enjoys the involvement of numerous stakeholders whose contributions need to be coordinated. These include
the departments of the Commission, the member-States, regional civil society, private sector and research
organizations, among others.
Thus, given the immensity of the work and in an effort to ensure the speedy development of the CDP with the desired
effectiveness and efficiency, it is proposed to bolster up the Office of the Coordinator by recruiting consultants to fill the
following positions:
- Four (4) economist-statistician modellers;
