The objective of the meeting is to discuss and validate the draft regional progress report for 2019 and 2020, within the context of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Reporting Framework. The workshop will also serve as a forum to share country experiences on data collection in the energy sector and to adopt the reporting template for monitoring the ECOWAS Bioenergy Policy.

The Dakar meeting will also outline various approaches designed to improve the national monitoring framework exercises in ECOWAS member countries. The meeting is expected to be attended by energy data experts from member states designated to compile the national monitoring framework reports, representatives from GIZ and other ECOWAS institutions such as WAPP, ERERA as well as the ECOWAS Commission.
