West Africa or Western Africa is the westernmost region of Africa. The United Nations defines Western Africa as the 16 countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo, as well as Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (United Kingdom Overseas Territory).
The population of West Africa is estimated at 419 million people as of 2021, and at 381,981,000 as of 2017, of which 189,672,000 were female and 192,309,000 male. The region is demographically[ and economically one of the fastest growing on the African continent.
West Africa has a rich ecology, with strong biodiversity and several distinct regions. The area’s climate and ecology are heavily influenced by the dry Sahara to the north and east, which provides dry winds during the Harmattan, as well as the Atlantic Ocean to the south and west, which provides seasonal monsoons. This mixture of climates gives West Africa a rich array of biomes, from biodiversity-rich tropical forests to drylands supporting rare and endangered fauna such as pangolins, rhinoceros, and elephants.
The northern section of West Africa (narrowly defined to exclude the western Maghreb) is composed of semi-arid terrain known as Sahel, a transitional zone between the Sahara and the West Sudanian savanna. Forests form a belt between the savannas and the southern coast, ranging from 160 km to 240 km in width.
The northwest African region of Mauritania periodically suffers country-wide plagues of locusts which consume water, salt and crops on which the human population relies.
West African countries have long-standing, thriving business connections. Over the years, these existing trade relationships have been formalized and enhanced into important cross border trade along key corridors, and serve as the main source of livelihoods for many traders, notably women, transport operators, and businesses connected to trade such as hotels and restaurants.
Unfortunately, West Africa also has some of the longest road transportation times for travel between countries and some of the highest travel costs per kilometer of any region in the world. The region’s corridors are laden with administrative barriers such as cumbersome border and customs clearance processes, as well as formal and informal checkpoints and roadblocks that keep trucks stationary for extended periods of time. These are serious impediments to the region’s economic growth and development. In addition, implementation of trade facilitation related policies such as the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), the adoption and implementation of the ECOWAS Customs Code, and the enforcement of the existing regional measures (like Common External Tariff and ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme) are not yet fully enforced.
