From the fake website:
The Economic Community of West African States (hereinafter “ECOWAS”) is a regional economic community, comprising 15 Member States and was founded in 1975. A key aspect of its mandate is to promote economic integration in all fields of economic activity, particularly, industry, transport, telecommunications, energy and agriculture. The Commission is one of its main institutions, with a mandate to design and implement policies, launch programmes and implement development projects in ECOWAS Member States.
Manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and service providers are eligible to submit a project proposal. All proposals are processed by field-based Advisers. Projects with potential to serve as models are especially encouraged. Particular attention is always given to proposals for Economic development, Healthcare, Education and Industrialization.
Preparation and submission
The project proposals shall be developed together with the Advisers in the Field concerned, who will check if the project is in line with the presentation requirements and the EAERG priorities. They will assist the submitters to develop appropriate projects after assessing the viability of the proposals and credentials of the proponents. If necessary, they will seek the view of the Board of Directors about the viability of the public sector projects on the viability of the private sector projects.
All project proposals must be submitted through an Accredited EAERG Sourcing Agent resident in Togo or any other West African State, following the recently updated guidelines on project preparation. Access to the platform will be provided after Vendor Registration.
The proposal will not be considered unless they have clear impact on one or several of the EAERG priorities.
