The Economic Community of West African States has convened the final steering committee meeting of its Regional Electricity Access Project, with the stated aim of securing lasting results for households in the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Mali, according to ECOWAS.
The meeting signals the closing phase of a regional initiative that brought together three countries to extend electricity access to underserved communities. By holding a dedicated final steering session, ECOWAS indicated its intention to consolidate the gains achieved under the project before it formally concludes.
The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Mali were the focus countries of the project, reflecting a regional approach to energy access that relies on cross-border coordination rather than purely national programmes. ECOWAS framed the initiative as part of its broader effort to build West Africa's future through shared regional infrastructure and development goals.
