White Paper for a Regional Policy: Toward Increasing Access to Energy Services

November 28, 2015

Member States of the ECOWAS Region have decided to engage on an ambitious regional policy in order to increase access to modern energy services. Their objective is to allow at least half of the population to have access to modern energy services by the year 2015. The paper describes this policy and sets time-bound regional targets that are ambitions but necessary for the achievement of the MDGs.
