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.

In response to some of these challenges, ECREEE developed a Regional Bioenergy Strategy and a Policy to reduce the heavy dependence of the increasing populations on traditional use of biomass. These strategies can be found in the ECOWAS Bioenergy Policy document.

In this context, ECREEE intends to recruit a national consultant in The Gambia to collaborate with the Ministry in charge of Energy to assist in the development of  The Gambia National Bioenergy Action Plan (NBEAP), to ensure that the objectives are successfully achieved.
