The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) launched a flagship programme entitled ECOWAS Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access Programme (ECOW-GEN) in 2013. The programme was established in the context that the potential of women in the ECOWAS region as energy producers and service providers is under-utilised and that empowering women and men to make meaningful contributions in the implementation of adopted policies is necessary for the achievement of the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) goals in West Africa. The establishment of ECOWAS-GEN is based on the principles set out in the ECOWAS Gender Policy and aims to contribute to the achievement of the SE4AII objectives in West Africa and the ECOWAS Regional Policy on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, by putting women at the centre of Energy development.

Two of the main achievements of ECOWAS-GEN are the adoption of the ECOWAS Policy on Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access and the validation of the ECOWAS Directive on Gender Assessments in Energy Projects, the first of its kind.

It is within the framework of this mission that ECREEE wishes to appoint a local consultant to help Cote d'Ivoire to : -Identify the best ways to achieve the strategic objectives of the ECOWAS Policy on Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access, -Develop an action plan for gender mainstreaming in energy access, Drawing on the strategic objectives and targets set out in the ECOWAS Policy on Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access, but adapted to national circumstances, - Organise and facilitate a national workshop for the adoption of the national policy and action plan.
