Justice Maria de Céu Silva Monteiro said recently at the launching which took place at the headquarters of the court that the full implementation of the system would enable officials in the commission, community institutions and agencies, have access to the same level of information thereby helping to promote better management of the resources of the community and contributing to the realisation of the 2020 vision of the region for a citizen driven community.
The Ecolink project is intended to help streamline business processes, improve control over documents, reduce manual processes and the use of paper, ensure faster information access, improve tracking of documents and provide a standardized platform for managing data across the ECOWAS Commission, institutions of the community and agencies.
The president said that the project aligned with the provisions of the community’s 1993 Revised Treaty, which encourages cooperation through science and technology for the socio-economic transformation required to increase the quality of life of the citizens.
She said that by adopting this IT based platform, the community was following a global trend, which favours the deployment of IT to improve efficiency.
