The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, with support from the European Union (EU) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has convened a meeting of the Steering Committee for the Regional Clean Cooking Action in West Africa (ReCCAWA).
The meeting was held on 29 September 2025 in Abuja, Nigeria, and brought together stakeholders to review progress and coordinate strategies for scaling up access to clean cooking solutions in the sub-region.
The €15.5 million ReCCAWA Programme seeks to expand access to clean, efficient, and affordable cooking energy solutions across the ECOWAS region.
Co-funded by the European Union and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the initiative is being implemented by the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), and the Spanish Cooperation (AECID), in partnership with Energising Development (EnDev). The programme will run for a period of four years.
