Minister Baboucarr Bouy led a delegation from the Ministry of Public Service to meet ECOWAS Resident Representative Miatta Lily French on August 1, 2025. The officials visited French's Atlantic Road office in Fajara to explore partnership opportunities for public administration reforms. Bouy sought ECOWAS support for implementing ministry reform programs while acknowledging the organization's commitment to regional governance improvements.

French welcomed the delegation and outlined various units within her office that assist member nations. She promised to connect the ministry with relevant ECOWAS headquarters departments in Abuja for potential funding opportunities. The representative also mentioned her office's administrative role supporting ECOMIG military personnel stationed in Gambia.

Bouy expressed appreciation for existing ECOWAS assistance, particularly through the eGov Unit supporting the MyGov digital initiative. He presented French with copies of the Civil Service Reform Program Strategy documents spanning 2018 to 2027. The meeting strengthened collaborative ties between Gambian government institutions and the regional economic community.
