MacArthur Foundation, Luminate, and Open Society Foundation, aims to bolster democracy across West African states over the next three years.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Jibrin, a former Director of the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), pointed out that West Africa has experienced multiple coups between 2020 and 2024, including in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger. Outside the region, Chad and Sudan also saw military takeovers in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Jibrin said, \u201cECOWAS has been playing a key role as a driving force in West African democracy. However, the biggest challenge is always when presidents come into power democratically and start subverting the system so they will stay in power for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat has been the biggest contradiction ECOWAS has always faced. ECOWAS is committed to supporting the democratic process. Still, at the same time, the authorities of the states are the major culprits in subverting the democratic process that led to the return of coups as well as undermining ECOWAS as a regional body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2024\/04\/28\/nigeria-needs-constitution-that-addresses-current-challenges-jibrin\/\">Jibrin<\/a> also mentioned that poor
