The RESWA (Renewable Energy for West Africa) project was started in 2010 after Oxfam sought technical expertise in implementing renewable energy into their humanitarian programmes. Following discussions with Oxfam in Senegal in the same year the main goals of the study were agreed. Working in Senegal, Niger, Mali, Liberia and Sierra Leone the study aimed to raise awareness and support of renewable energy through interaction with government, NGO’s the private sector and legislation.
Challenges Worldwide worked alongside Oxfam on the RESWA programme, providing the project with an exceptional volunteer with over 40 years of experience in development planning. Our volunteer worked across the five countries for four months with an indepth follow up and documentation of the project on returning to England. He remarked on Challenges Worldwide describing the organisation to be a ‘unique one which seems to attract a certain type of individual: independent, capable and self-confident’.
