 ECOWAS President Visits ERERA Headquarters
 President of the ECOWAS Commission, Marcel Alain de Souza, visited the offices of the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA), on Thursday, 11th August 2016 in Accra, Ghana. It was President de Souza’s first visit to ERERA since he assumed duty in April 2016. He made the visit on the sidelines of the tripartite United Nations, African Union and ECOWAS high-level mission to Ghana on the 2016 elections.  Expressing appreciation to ERERA staff for the warm reception, President de Souza described ERERA as an important institution of ECOWAS, tasked with contributing to finding solutions to the energy crisis in West Africa.  Further addressing the staff, he spoke of ECOWAS gender policy, and added that the appointment of President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson of Liberia as Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government was evidence of the importance ECOWAS attaches to gender issues within its institutions.
