The Economic Community of West African States (The ECOWAS) is a regional, political, and economic union of 15 countries in West Africa. Collectively, these countries occupy 5,114,162 km². In 2015, ECOWAS had an estimated population of 349-Million. The ECO is the proposed name for the common currency that the West African Monetary Zone plans to introduce in the framework of Economic Community of West African States. After its introduction, the goal is to combine the new currency replacing the West African CFA-franc currency unit from France.

The founding members of ECOWAS were: Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania (left 2002), Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Burkina Faso (which had joined earlier as Upper Volta, July 2, 2019). Several of these countries are French-speaking colonies that will need the support of the Global African Diaspora Voice (GADV) to create a functional independent Central Banking system that is not connected to France banking systems.

The Bullion Bank of Africa is establishing a banking clearinghouse in the ECOWAS region for all the different African currencies. In-ground asset exploration in this region is not fully studied as it is the case of SADC, which has the advantage of Western interest in its politics and longer-term stay of white folks in the sub-region. GADV-TRG collaboration will expose the total wealth, including hidden in-ground asset of ECOWAS and the other sub-regions of Africa.
