Aptech’s Awet Afewerki Nominated to REASL Board of Directors

Aptech Africa Sierra Leone is proud to have its Director, Awet Afewerki nominated to join the Board of Directors for the Renewable Energy Association of Sierra Leone (REASL).

REASL is a trade organization in Sierra Leone focused on developing an efficient and thriving renewable energy market within the country. REASL was formed in 2016 as a direct response to the Energy Africa Compact, a UK aid initiative that partners with government and donors to accelerate energy access through a market-based approach.

REASL carries out a number of roles including the promotion of the interests of its members in the renewable energy sector to key stakeholders such as Government and consumers. REASL acts as a clearing house for dissemination of information on local and global issues, policies, new technologies, and business models within the renewable energy sector.

For more information about REASL’s activities, visit: https://reasl.com/. Aptech is looking forward to working with REASL to achieve its mission of accelerating the adoption of universal renewable energy access and economic empowerment in Sierra Leone.
