The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) has been supporting the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) in its development efforts since March 2017. A Grant of USD 1,000,000 was approved on 10th March 2017 to finance to undertake the feasibility studies on Business Opportunities for Women in a Changing Energy Value Chain in West Africa, ECOWAS Region.

The objective of the audit of the Project financial statements (PFSs) is to enable the auditors to express an independent professional opinion on the financial position of the Project as at 30th September 2020; and to ensure that the funds granted to the Project have been used for their intended purposes.

The project books of accounts provide the basis for preparation of the PFSs by the project implementing unit and are established to reflect the financial transactions in respect of the project. The PIU maintains adequate internal controls and supporting documentation for transactions.

In view of this, ECREEE is seeking to recruit an Auditing Firm to provide consultancy services in accordance with the Terms of Reference (ToR) attached.
