The ECOWAS Small Hydro Power Program was developed in partnership with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and adopted by the ECOWAS Ministers of Energy in October 2012. The Program aims to contribute towards increased access to modern, affordable and reliable energy services, energy security and mitigation of negative externalities of the energy system (e.g. GHG emissions, local pollution) by establishing an enabling environment for small-scale hydro power investments and markets in the ECOWAS region. Based on the achievements, the program is currently entering the 2nd phase of implementation. The 2nd phase focuses on investment and business promotion and is expected to generate significant socio-economic and environmental benefits, including enhancement of capacities for climate resilience/adaptation.
SIDS DOCK and UNIDO, under the Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centres (GN-SEC) program, are currently launching the Global Ocean Energy Alliance (GOEA), which accelerates the deployment of ocean energy (OE) technologies through partnerships that mobilize technical, human and financial resources. It aims to establish a global community of vested interest with the capacity to develop a pipeline of bankable OE projects to serve islands, cities and coastal developing nations in Africa. It builds a bridge between the industry and research players, which need to test new solutions in various climates and contexts, and the interest of SIDS and coastal countries in Africa to get access to technology and expertise.
