To address Guinea-Bissau’s development challenges, the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) new strategy will promote economic diversification, structural transformation and lay the foundation for inclusive, resilient and sustainable growth through support for infrastructure and good governance.

As a concrete follow-up, the country has recently received funding from the West African Development Bank (BOAD) to construct a 20 MW solar PV power plant near Bissau and two 1 MW hybrid mini-grid systems in Gabu and Cachungo. Currently, the African Biofuel and Renewable Energy Company (SABER-ABREC) has published a competitive tender for the submission of proposals.
