The AGRI-COOL project was presented at the 10th edition of the ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Forum (ESEF 2025), which was held on 18–19 September 2025 at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Center in Banjul, The Gambia.

This event, organised by the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), focused on the theme “Accelerating Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Solutions for Growth in the ECOWAS Region”. It brought together more than 500 participants, including ministers, private sector actors, development partners and civil society representatives.
