For three years the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency has been running the ECOWAS Solar Thermal Energy Program (SolTrain West Africa). With this specific program, ECREEE aims at creating more and more channels for a wider penetration of the solar thermal technology, including water heating, thermal drying of agricultural products and other productive uses, towards sustainable energy.
In this sense, the Centre has embarked on a series of training courses aimed at professionals and experts of the field. This training course is the second in a series of technical training courses for professionals carried out in cooperation with the partners of the Centre such as Koforidua Technical University (Ghana), Université Cheikh Anta DIOP (Senegal) and 2iE (Burkina Faso).
