Communication Officer

• Aug 2011 - May 2020

I joined the ECOWAS Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) on the 15th of August 2011 where I was initially hired by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) to set up the Communications Unit and develop a comprehensive communication strategy to give the Centre visibility through the most appropriate channels in order to strengthen the cooperation and communication framework with various local and international partners. I have contributed to strengthening the network of National Focal Institutions through regular coordination meetings, developing cooperation agreements with various partners and public relations activities, including our presence at international events and facilitation of conferences.I have collaborated with ECREEE‘s relevant stakeholders in developing a series of communication tools and aiming to improve awareness among the general public on the centre's programs and activities and benefits to the citizens of the region. I have also established a strong line of communication with the donors, National Focal Institutions and media groups by improving communication channels employed by the Unit and the adoption of new communication tools. My duties and responsibilities are also geared towards supporting the sixteen (16) ECREEE programs on visibility through publications, brochures to keep stakeholders informed about the activities, programs and projects of the Centre. As the ECREEE Communication Officer I coordinated ten (10) editions of the newsletters in three languages: English, French and Portuguese and shared with all partners. I also coordinated the development of an ECREEE branding Manual to guide the institution on branding and improve visual communications which included a new ECREEE Logo.
