The Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops of West Africa have therefore set up a body for the Prevention, Mediation, Resolution and Transformation of conflicts in the region. It is called the RECOWA Committee for Peace (REPCO). Behind this initiative is their desire for synergic actions between the Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa and the ECOWAS Commission, since the goals and objectives pursued by both our organizations include the promotion of Justice and Peace, Democracy and Stability through Good Governance.
