World Bank Boosts Energy Supply to Support Regional Trade and Integration in West African Countries
WASHINGTON, April 29, 2015 − The World Bank Group’s Board of Directors today approved support for a regional transmission network to enable electricity trade among the western African countries of The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal.

The cost of electricity generation in The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Senegal is very high as a result of the region’s high dependence on expensive oil-based thermal generation. The Bank’s support of the OMVG Interconnection Project will help countries in West Africa to change the energy mix away from thermal generation by connecting them to more sustainable and cost-effective energy resources such as Guinea’s 6,000 MW of hydropower potential….

The IRC Launches Crowd-Sourced Reviews and Ratings Site For Syrian Refugees in Lebanon
Site Designed to Help Refugees Locate and Rate Basic and Commercial Service Providers
27 Apr 2015 – NEW YORK and BEIRUT, April 28, 2015 — The International Rescue Committee (IRC)… announced the launch of IRC Service Info, an online platform that will enable the more than 1 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon to search and rate aid and commercial services – ranging from healthcare to financial services and retail – online or over the phone.
Developed by the IRC and funded by a grant from the U.S. Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, the IRC’s Service Info project aims to provide a solution to an information gap for transient refugees looking for local services. The site URL is https://serviceinfo.rescue.org/app/.
“Too often, access to what can be life-saving services available to Syrian refugees in Lebanon is not understood, or even known about,” said IRC president and CEO David Miliband. “That’s why we have built IRC Service Info, to help inform refugees about the services available to them, and to improve those services by creating a feedback loop to service providers. This simple but powerful use of technology is a small building block in helping to create a semblance of normality for people whose lives have been shattered by the defining humanitarian crisis of this century.”…
