The major postulation is that regional integration leads to economic growth and development. It focuses on the main aspects of the integration that is the economic growth and development, trade and investment. It addresses key recommendations on how obstacles to the integration process can be overcome. This is generally applicable to other regional integration schemes particularly in Africa.
