Chairman’s Message
Mr. Faman Toure
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the Federation of West African Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FEWACCI).
For over four decades, FEWACCI has served as the collective voice of the organized private sector within the ECOWAS region, working to advance regional economic integration, promote intra-African trade and investment, and strengthen the role of the private sector as a key driver of sustainable development, prosperity, and peace.
As West Africa continues to embrace new economic opportunities and address emerging challenges, our commitment remains steadfast: to foster dialogue between the public and private sectors, support enterprise development, encourage innovation and competitiveness, and deepen regional and international partnerships for the benefit of our businesses and our people.
This website reflects our dedication to transparency, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. Whether you are a Member Chamber, business leader, investor, development partner, policymaker, or visitor, I warmly invite you to explore our work, engage with our initiatives, and join us in advancing a more integrated, competitive, and prosperous West Africa.
On behalf of the Bureau and Member Chambers of FEWACCI, I thank you for your interest and look forward to building enduring partnerships that will contribute to the economic transformation of our region.
