The ECOWAS Program on Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access (ECOW-GEN) since its establishment in 2013 has worked to steer ECOWAS Member States towards the direction of mainstreaming gender in policy formulation, legislative drafting, energy project and program design and implementation, with the intention to promote equality in energy development through equal access to resources and equal contribution to the decision-making processes that shape and influence energy expansion in West Africa.
In line with the ECOW-GEN, ECREEE in collaboration with The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) formulated a “Women and Clean Energy in West Africa (WOCEWA) Project” which specifically works to meet the objective of the policy relating to mainstreaming gender in the private sector and increasing the participation of women as clean energy consumers and suppliers.
In implementing these activities, WOCEWA is establishing a fund to support Women-led Small and Medium Scale Establishments (SMEs) in the energy sector who needs small scale grant funding for their businesses. This grant will aim to subsidize the costs of borrowing from commercial outlets.
In order to effectively communicate to its audience on WOCEWA Project, ECREEE intends to engage a consultant to develop and produce communication materials in accordance with the requirements of the Terms of Reference (ToR) attached.
