The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) is calling for proposals for its Research Grant Program, under the ECOWAS initiative on Youth Leadership Development in Energy. The Program aims to support teams of young men and women to conduct and develop well-researched, policy relevant academic papers designed to contribute to the transformation of the energy sector in the ECOWAS region.
Research proposals must be ambitious and innovative, and aimed at generating new knowledge for decision making. Proposals must demonstrate how and why the results from the research would be of relevance to policy makers and the direct beneficiaries of the study and proposed policy measures.
Through the program, a team, consisting of at least two people1, will receive a grant amount of not more than 1500 EUR to contribute to the formulation of evidence-based energy policies in the region.
The Program will, thus, support research teams with research proposals that are ambitious and innovative, and aimed at generating new knowledge for decision making.
Eligibility
The Research Grant Program will support research proposals that aim at employing scientific methodologies4 in finding solutions to topical energy issues in ECOWAS Member States. Research proposals employing a multidisciplinary approach will be favoured.
