Benin
Regional Support
Lighting Global will support efforts to increase electricity access to households, businesses and communities through modern off-grid electrification in Benin and 18 other West African countries.
World Bank supported projects:
The Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP) will provide targeted West African countries with needed support to foster a sustainable and scalable off-grid electrification market to meet the electrification needs of unserved populations. ROGEAP will support off-grid electrification in the 15 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, the Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo) as well as Cameroon, the Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, and Mauritania.
Lighting Global will support ROGEAP by working with both the governments and the private sector to make quality-verified off-grid solar lighting and energy products more readily available in West Africa.
