INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT FOR MANAGEMENT OF VIRTUAL ECOWAS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FORUM (ESEF) 2021

The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) was established in 2010 in response to the energy poverty crisis faced by the West Africa region, and the need to mitigate the effects of climate change. It was a strategic decision by West African leaders — under the auspices of the ECOWAS Commission — to strive to reduce the daunting energy deficit and to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in the region. ECREEE is now largely seen as the “go-to” regional institutional to deal with all renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) matters in the ECOWAS.

Since 2017, ECREEE has convened the ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Forum (ESEF), which has become the must-to-attend energy event in West Africa, providing a veritable platform for networking and forging effective partnerships that will accelerate the implementation of priority energy projects. The vision of the forum is to foster concrete progress in the implementation of the ECOWAS region’s sustainable energy targets, as well as the Sustainable Energy for All (SeeforAll) Initiative in the ECOWAS region.

While the maiden and second editions were successfully organized in Dakar, Senegal, the third episode was held in Accra, Ghana in October 2019. However, the 2020 edition coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic and was held virtually for the first time. Given the current global health situation, ESEF 2021 will also be digital. ECREEE is therefore seeking to recruit an individual consultant to support the organization of the second virtual ESEF in line with the Terms of Reference (ToR) attached.
