WA-ECS 24 will continue the discussions started at the Africa Energy Forum (AEF), with a focus on regional issues. The goal is to promote concrete solutions and partnerships that address the specific energy needs of West Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The event will cover the following key topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Attracting Investment in Energy Infrastructure in West Africa<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cross-border Collaboration and Regional Energy Integration<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

    West Africa has abundant natural resources, including solar, hydro, and gas, which offer significant opportunities for sustainable growth. Key projects such as the expansion of the West African Power Pool, the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline, and solar farm initiatives in Mauritania, Togo, and Mali are reshaping the regional energy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Togo as Host Country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Togo plays a key role in the region, being at the heart of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and home to institutions such as the West African Development Bank (BOAD). Togo\u2019s strategic location makes it an ideal venue for discussions on regional energy integration and investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Summit Objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    WA-ECS 24 aims to deepen discussions on ongoing energy projects, explore practical plans for achieving 2030 renewable energy targets, and foster public-private partnerships to accelerate the region’s energy development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
