The Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP) objective is to increase access to sustainable electricity services in the fifteen ECOWAS member countries and four Sahelian countries (namely Cameroon, Chad, Mauritania and Central African Republic). ROGEAP will improve access to sustainable energy by building a regional market for off-grid solar products and supporting the various stakeholders across the value chain, i.e. governments, private sector, financial intermediaries, and end users including households, businesses, and in some instances to public health and education facilities through a pilot program.
