Benin - 3.6 Additional Service Providers | Digital Logistics Capacity Assessments

Overview

Benin has made significant progress over the past decade in improving its additional services, though the overall service provision level is relatively limited for an institution to secure most of its services. Benin imports energy from neighbouring countries. Waste management services are not developed. Financial services remain at a limited level. The transport sector is very informal.

For more information on company contact details, please see the following link.

Accommodation

Some accommodation cleared by the UNDSS office based in Cotonou and respecting MOSS standards can be found in all the larger cities in Benin. There is not a guesthouse system in the country. Staff on missions in the country can be accommodated in the cleared hotels, and accommodation has not been a major issue in Benin.

Electricity and Power

As of 2020, approximately 32% of Benin's population have access to electricity, leaving approximately 1.5 million citizens without access. On average, 56% of the urban population have access to electricity, while only about 11% have access in rural areas.

While Benin currently depends on Nigeria and Ghana for nearly half of its electricity consumption, additional domestic generation capacity (both IPP and publicly owned) and the operationalization of the West Africa Power Pool (WAPP) regional power market are expected to make additional capacity available by 2024.

Power is supplied to all regions of the country through the Société Béninoise d'Energie Electrique (SBEE) which is state owned. The main source of power production in Benin comes from gas and fuel turbines. The production is controlled by the government through SBEE which is entirely public.
