AGP Executive Report

Last update: 15 minutes ago

Power Access Push: Sungrow’s RESPITE solar-plus-storage project is now connected to Sierra Leone’s grid, aiming to lift electricity access from 16% to 36% and ease long outages blamed on a single 161kV line and seasonal hydropower drops. Health & Environment Risk: Nigeria’s Lassa fever death toll has reached 237 this year, with public health advice stressing clean surroundings and rodent control—an issue that also links to sanitation and waste management. PFM Reform: Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Finance has started consultations to update the Public Financial Management Act, including climate finance and procurement rules, with a stakeholder meeting set for Aug 14. Wildlife Conservation: “Pa Willie” Tucker’s work at Tacugama shows how chimp protection can last when conservation is tied to community livelihoods and reduced hunting pressure. Regional Development Finance: EBID approved over $510m for West Africa, including transport, healthcare, and renewable energy projects—relevant for Sierra Leone’s wider climate and infrastructure goals. Energy Access Gap: New data estimates nearly 6 million Sierra Leoneans lacked electricity access in 2025, highlighting the scale of the challenge beyond Freetown. Youth & Waste Solutions: Young Sierra Leoneans are turning electronic waste and plastics into solar lamps and recycled products, tackling pollution while creating practical learning and income.
