The specific objective of the RECASEB programme is to improve the institutional framework of the energy sector in Benin at regulatory and organisational level and to support/encourage reforms. These reforms must make the sector more attractive for public and private investment, including new production units, particularly via renewable sources and the extension of the network for greater access to electricity services throughout the country, particularly in rural areas.
The components of the RECASEB programme are organised around three main pillars:
- Capacity building of the energy sector;
- The development of management, supervisory and decision-making tools for the steering and implementation of the strategic thrusts;
- Information and documentation to the parties of the sector and the general public (civil society, consumers, etc.).
