The Regional Project for Off-Grid Electricity Access (ROGEAP) is funded by the World Bank, the Clean Technologies Fund, and the Directorate of International Cooperation of the Government of the Netherlands.
The project is part of the ECOWAS program on access to sustainable electricity services, directly contributing to the objectives of the ECOWAS Renewable Energy Policy, which aims to provide universal access to electricity in the region by 2030.
The project has two main components, which include the development of a regional market for off-grid solar photovoltaic systems, as well as the possibility for the private sector to access financing for off-grid solar photovoltaic products.
The seminar in Lomé aims to update the network members on the activities implemented by the project since its inception and will be chaired by the ECOWAS Commissioner for Infrastructure, Energy, and Digitalization, Sediko Douka.
