Built and translated into French and Portuguese the IPAWAS regional investment promotion platform for 12 ECOWAS member countries, tracking business enabling reform across West Africa.
The challenge
The Investment Promotion Agencies of West Africa States needed a unified regional platform to track business enabling reform across ECOWAS member states — providing investors, policymakers, and development partners with a credible, regularly updated intelligence resource.
Our approach
Switch Advisory built and translated the IPAWAS platform into French and Portuguese. The platform was designed for accessibility on low-bandwidth connections, recognising that a significant share of the target audience would be accessing it on mobile devices with variable connectivity.
What we delivered
- A functional regional investment intelligence platform
- Full French and Portuguese translations
- Reform tracking indicators across 12 ECOWAS member states
- Training materials for IPAWAS member agency staff
Outcomes
A live regional platform providing investment climate intelligence for 12 West African countries, accessible in three languages, and used by investment promotion agencies, development partners, and private sector actors across the ECOWAS region.
