El Ecowas Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency es un órgano especializado de la Comunidad Económica de Estados de África Occidental (CEDEAO), con sede en Praia (Cabo Verde), cuyo objetivo es el desarrollo de políticas energéticas sostenibles y eficientes, tanto a nivel regional como nacional, y la creación de un entorno favorable para la consolidación de un mercado de energías renovables en la región.
El ECREEE ha sido la primera organización regional, después de la Unión Europea, en elaborar y disponer de un Plan de Energías Renovables y de un Plan de Eficiencia Energética, motivo por el cual Africa Occidental y el ECREEE constituyen un referente para otras regiones africanas. En muy poco tiempo, el centro ha logrado tejer una importante red de alianzas a nivel internacional (ONUDI, PNUMA, Global Environment Fund, Global Forum on Sustainable Energy, IRENA…), que le han llevado a ocupar una posición protagonista para África Occidental en el marco de la iniciativa de Naciones Unidas en materia de acceso universal a la energía sostenible, Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All).
