Regional off-grid electricity access to light up 19 countries

Nineteen countries across Africa are set to benefit from the Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP) with activities officially commencing this month.

ROGEAP will facilitate access to electricity for households, businesses, and schools across West, North and Central Africa.

Launched in 2017 as the Regional Off-Grid Electricity Project (ROGEP), the project was restructured and re-launched in November 2020 by ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and its Technical and Financial Partners as the Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP).
