ECREEE COVID-19 Response and Recovery Support Fund (RECOviD)

Deadline:

Friday, April 1, 2022 – 23:00

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impose negative social, economic, financial, and human security impacts on ECOWAS Member States. The pandemic, as global public health challenge, has not only posed a serious threat to the regional integration process and regional peace and security agenda, but to the sustainable development of member states

Providing a commensurate level of response and recovery to address the compounding effects of the pandemic is now the greatest challenge facing nations. This has brought about a deal of national, regional and global efforts to subsidize the multi-faceted consequences of the pandemic on vulnerable communities/countries.

In that perspective, the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), as the lead agency in the region with the mandate to promote sustainable energy, has identified ways to respond appropriately to the COVID-19 crisis, including the promotion of sustainable energy solutions to ensure the functioning of critical services such as health, and social infrastructures.

Clean Energy technologies can support the health sector in the region by contributing to the Member States’ response to the current challenges imposed by the pandemic.

It is in this context that ECREEE intends to provide funding to individual RECOVID projects to support, in a coordinated manner, ECOWAS Member States’ COVID-19 response and recovery efforts through increased deployment and use of sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy technologies and services, as per the attached Request for Proposal (RFP).
