  "summary": "The Foreign Affairs Ministry in Ghana has inaugurated two committees aimed at strengthening the country's engagement with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The establishment of the ECOWAS Community Levy and Finance Committee (CLFC) and the ECOWAS Sector Programme Committee (SPC) is seen as a significant step towards improving coordination among national stakeholders, enhancing the implementation of regional programs, and enabling Ghana to derive greater benefits from its membership in the West African bloc. Speaking at the ceremonies, the Ministry's Chief Director, Ambassador Khadija Idrissu, emphasized Ghana's long-standing commitment to regional integration and the role of the committees in facilitating the effective coordination of ECOWAS activities within the country.",
