Regional Economic Communities (RECs) must have clear decision-making processes, accountability mechanisms, and dispute resolution procedures to coordinate policies and programs across member states. Robust governance is essential for RECs to address challenges like overlapping memberships, narrow markets, poor infrastructure, and weak implementation capacity. RECs also need the authority and resources from member states to carry out their mandates.
