In order to counterbalance the decline in the number of tourists, the Ministry of Tourism has developed a six-pillar Global Strategy that will be soon enshrined in a new Tourism Law, which as at October 2017 was still in the drafting process and is expected in the course of 2018.

The legal framework reflects Guinea's commitments under international treaties on electricity, as well as laws, draft regulations on energy efficiency, regulatory and contractual provisions, programmes already implemented, ongoing projects and others under negotiation.

Guinea is party to several regional agreements on electricity, in particular:
(…)
• the Senegal River Basin Development Organization (OMVS) and the Gambia River Basin Development Organization (OMVG) conventions, and additional instruments that organize the joint hydropower exploitation of the Senegal and Gambia rivers;

In relation to the project to remove obstacles to the development of the pico hydroelectric power sector, the Decentralized Rural Electrification Bureau (BERD), now rebranded as the Guinean Rural Electrification Agency (AGER), received technical assistance from the SOGREAH consulting firm with a view to lifting obstacles facing the pico hydroelectric sector in Guinea.

The AGER’s overall mission is to implement the national rural electrification policy defined by the Ministry responsible for energy, by executing the National Rural Electrification Programme (PNER) 2030, which is currently being developed with technical assistance from the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE).
