Since the World Solar Summit at Harare in Zimbabwe in 1996 which led to the adoption of the World Solar Program, various meetings have been held throughout the world about the promotion of sustainable energy. The implementation of the Program has already started at different levels. Framework for consultation at a regional level has been made to accompany the execution of the Program.
It is with this perspective that the Constitutive Meeting of the African Solar Council will be held in Dakar, Senegal on 6-9 July 1999.
The aim of the Meeting will be to put in place an African framework of consultation, and orient and support countries in the implementation of Solar Programs. Another objective is to strengthen the actors in the domain of solar energy, principally at the state level so that states can commit themselves further to the promotion of sustainable energy.
States, NGOs, institutes, national research centers, electrical companies and associated potential members are invited to this Meeting, which is under the direction of Mr. Abdou Diouf, the President of the Republic of Senegal and President of the African Solar Council.
