Regional Electricity Access and BEST Project

Abstract*

The proposed project will finance civil works to accelerate access in Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. In Mauritania, the project will develop rural electrification through grid densification around existing substations of the OMVS interconnector along the fragile area of the Southern border with Senegal. In Senegal, the project will electrify communities around OMVG substations in Casamance area. The construction of these substations will be completed... Show More

Development Objective
