Explanation:
Major achievements of ECOWAS :
Road construction between big cities. The highways Lagos-Abidjan, Nouakchott-Lagos have made commuting much easier that it was before. The road network Elubo – Alflao – Lagos is one of the achievements. The relations between the Anglophone and Francophone have been stabilized.
Telephone network for the member states. Nowadays, interconnection is available for all countries of the African Union.
No strict borders for nations and trades. ECOWAS has enabled West Africans to easily move among the West African countries. Also, the trade barrier has been removed. People, goods and services travel around the countries with ease.
Peace and security throughout the sub-region. The state of peace is kept by ECOWAS Monitoring Groups. The zones of conflicts are not so troublesome compared to what it used to be.
All representatives of the Union are annually gathered at WAC summits. The Head of the states and its members discuss specific issues to improve the situation within West Africa States.

The countries of Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia, are all countries that have excellent locations for building canals that would contribute to much easier sea travel and trade, and cutting of on distance significantly. This is because all four countries are countries that have access on two large water bodies, on the eastern side that is the Caribbean Sea, and through it a direct connection with the Atlantic Ocean, and on the western side it is the Pacific Ocean. Still, so far, only one of them have been chosen for a canal, and that is Panama, and this was mainly due to the lowland relief and because the country has the smallest land mass between the two water bodies.
