The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) has announced two distinct funding calls, inviting project developers and entrepreneurs to submit proposals for clean energy initiatives across the region. These grants aim to boost sustainable development, enhance livelihoods, and promote the adoption of the energy, water, food nexus and circular economy practices in various member states.

  1. Promoting Clean Cooking and Solar Technologies – Deadline: November 17, 2025
    Focused on improving food security and socio-economic development, the second call targets projects in Guinea-Bissau, Cabo Verde, and The Gambia. This initiative aims to promote solar photovoltaic technologies for water pumping in agriculture, improve clean cooking solutions in schools and health institutions, and optimize fish smoking practices. The project will heavily involve women and youth, who will constitute 80% of the beneficiaries. Eligible actors from the three target countries are encouraged to submit their applications by November 17, 2025, at 11:59 pm Cabo Verde Time (GMT-1)to technicalexpert@ecreee.org.

  1. Regional Pilot Project on Circular Economy (RPCE) – Extended Deadline: November 18, 2025
    The third call, for the Regional Pilot Project on Circular Economy (RPCE), has recently extended its deadline. This 26-month project seeks to optimize energy-intensive value chains in high-impact sectors in Benin, Nigeria, and Senegal. The goal is to enhance livelihoods in rural communities by improving energy efficiency in agribusiness, creating employment, and adopting circular economy innovations. ECREEE is calling on eligible project developers in these three countries to apply. The new deadline for submission is November 18, 2025, at 11:59 pm Cabo Verde Time (GMT-1), and proposals should be sent to technicalexpert@ecreee.org.
