The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) became operational in 2010 with funding from the ECOWAS Commission and donors such as the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and technical assistance from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Since then, ECREEE has expanded its network of donors and partners to more than twenty (20) organizations covering both financial and technical areas of partnerships.

Through these collaborations ECREEE developed four regional sustainable energy policies, established grant facilities to support development of clean energy projects, implemented several capacity development initiatives including a certification program, developed knowledge materials and knowledge management tools, organized events to raise awareness of sustainable energy benefits, among others.

Primarily soft activities or micro/small-scale hard energy projects, the activities implemented by ECREEE over this period (10+ years) have been geared towards stimulating and supporting the budding growth of the sustainable energy sector in West Africa. Considering the current stage of the sector’s development, ECREEE’s focus is widening to include support for the development of concrete/hard energy projects, larger in scale and involving a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement. Such a shift will require ECREEE to engage new kinds of partners, while strengthening the ongoing funding relationship with the Centre’s current donors.

It is against this background that ECREEE intends to recruit a consultant to train, equip and prepare the ECREEE technical staff to successfully mobilise funds in line with these new areas of interest, from new and current donors.
