Discussions on the post-2015 development agenda are warming up. In September 2014, the UN General Assembly is due to consider new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A milestone was already reached this February when the Open Working Group, the body preparing the SDGs, produced a document outlining potential focus areas. Unlike the MDGs, one of these is energy. 

The preparatory phase of the UNIDO GEF 5 on “Greening the productive sectors in The Gambia: Promoting the use and integration of small to medium scale renewable energy systems in the productive sectors” begins with a 5-day scoping mission led by the project team, comprised of two ECREEE renewable energy experts, a UNIDO international expert and the GEF project national expert, to the Gambia, from 21 – 25 April, 2014.

On 9th April, 2014, Mr. Hong Xiang, from Hanergy Holding Group, accompanied by his Project Developer, Mr Adebayo, paid a working visit to ECREEE; the aim of which was to gain better knowledge of ECREEE’s activities and discuss possible areas for future collaboration.
