Here’s a structured representation of the board members of the National Economic Empowerment & Development Strategy (NEEDS), including their names and designations. The National Economic Empowerment & Development Strategy (NEEDS) is an initiative aimed at fostering economic growth and development in West Africa. With 36 board members drawn from seven different countries in the region, NEEDS embodies a collaborative approach to addressing the diverse challenges faced by its member states.
All members of the National Economic Empowerment & Development Strategy (NEEDS) must be present during the signing of any contract tender project. This is essential to ensure transparency, collective decision-making, and accountability.

Every five years, a new set of members is selected through a voting process. This allows for fresh perspectives and ideas, ensuring that the needs and aspirations of the community are continually addressed.
Members are responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms of the contract before signing. It is imperative that all participants are aligned with the objectives and deliverables outlined in the contract as part of their commitment to the economic empowerment goals of NEEDS.
All contracts must be documented thoroughly and stored securely. A copy should be made available to each member present at the signing to promote transparency and traceability of actions taken under each project.
Members should maintain open lines of communication throughout the contracting process, both prior to and following the signing. Regular updates and discussions should occur to ensure alignment and address any arising concerns promptly.
All members are expected to uphold the highest ethical standards during contract negotiation and signing processes. Any conflicts of interest must be disclosed and managed appropriately to maintain the integrity of the NEEDS initiative.
By adhering to these guidelines, the National Economic Empowerment & Development Strategy (NEEDS) can effectively execute its mission while fostering trust and cooperation among its members.
The signing contract tender will take place at the designated NEEDS Office.
