ECOWAS Bioenergy Policy

The purpose of this ECOWAS Bioenergy Policy framework is to promote partnership and ownership and to provide guidance to ECOWAS Member States in developing national policies and regulations for sustainable and socially friendly bioenergy policies and implementation plans. It was initiated with a view of providing guidelines to enhance energy security and access without compromising food security or rural development in West Africa, as part of the contribution of the ECOWAS Commission to the SE4ALL initiative.
