Crises are inevitable, whether at regional or national levels, but can be prevented and managed through appropriate response mechanisms when early warning signs are discovered or detected. The vote created the into law the National Center for the Coordination of Response Mechanisms (NCCRM) -- waiting for the signature of President George Weah to become effective. With national centers, ECOWAS member states can share information, implement conflict prevention, and manage crises, while protecting human security at the regional and national level.
