The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) has received from the World Bank, financing for the preparation of a proposed Regional Off-Grid Electrification Project, in West Africa and in some Sahel Countries.

The overall objective of the consulting services (“the Services”) is threefold to 1) identify organizations supporting entrepreneurs; 2) assess their capacity and willingness to deliver managerial, business and technical training services to entrepreneurs in the renewable energy field and in particular in off-grid solar PV and 3) define the required technical assistance intervention based on a regional network. This will be accomplished through the completion of 4 tasks:
The Services will be carried out to the all 19 target countries of the project, which are: Republic of Benin, Republic of Cabo Verde, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Republic of Chad, Republic of Côte D’Ivoire, Islamic Republic of the Gambia, Republic of Ghana, Republic of Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Republic of Liberia, Republic of Mali, Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Republic of Niger, Nigeria, Republic of Senegal, Republic of Sierra Leone and Republic of Togo.
