Procurements

To support the efforts of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger towards the provision of sustainable energy services to the most vulnerable populations and to capitalize on the very significant potential for solar energy in the region, UNDP and UNOPS in partnership with ECREEE are implementing, with SIDA funding and under the institutional anchoring of the Liptako-Gourma Authority (ALG), the "Rural Electrification Project by Renewable Energy Systems in the Liptako-Gourma Region - Pilot Phase", for a duration of 3 years (2021 - 2023).

The energy system of West Africa is facing interrelated challenges of sustainable energy access, energy security and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Principal among the energy challenges of sustainable energy access are the widespread and unsustainable production and utilization of traditional biomass (firewood and charcoal).  This high dependence of the populations on the traditional biomass use continues to contribute to smoke-related health problems, deforestation and desertification and thereby affecting production and security.

Background

ECREEE in partnership with UNIDO, The Gambia Standards Bureau (TGSB) and the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MOPE) with all relevant stakeholders, invites Gambians that are engaged in Lighting as technical experts (designers, installers) to apply for participation in a training workshop for the promotion of Energy Efficiency in Lighting, and energy efficiency products.
