The ECOWAS Gender Development Centre (EGDC) is holding a regional workshop from 24 to 28 November 2025 in Saly, Senegal, to train Gender Focal Points, ECOWAS staff, and various stakeholders on the use of the five components of its new Digital Ecosystem. The system includes the EGDC website, the ECOGO Observatory, a virtual workspace, an artificial intelligence platform, and the EGDC web security command centre.
The official launch of this ecosystem will strengthen real-time data collection, reporting coherence, and regional collaboration on gender-equality issues. The workshop brings together key users from Member States, ECOWAS institutions, the “50 Million African Women Speak” project, civil society, and development partners to consolidate the institutionalization of these digital tools.
