The Centre for Community Law (CFComLaw) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing knowledge of ECOWAS law and oceanic law across West Africa. Through research, public education, policy engagement, and its peer-reviewed academic journal, CFComLaw works to ensure that ECOWAS frameworks become a living reality for the citizens, institutions, and coastal communities they are designed to serve. CFComLaw holds observer status with the International Seabed Authority under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The Centre for Community Law (CFComLaw) is a non-profit, non-political organisation dedicated to making ECOWAS law accessible, actionable, and beneficial for the people of West Africa. We research, educate, and advocate — bridging the gap between regional legal frameworks and the communities, governments, and institutions they are designed to serve. Our work spans ECOWAS community law, oceanic and maritime law, environmental law, and the sustainable development of West Africa’s blue economy.
