AGP Executive Report

Last update: 33 minutes ago

Youth Climate Action: Freetown Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr launched the third cohort of the Bloomberg Youth Climate Action Fund 2.0, backing youth-led solutions like tree planting, recycling and composting across Sierra Leone’s participating cities. Community Health Access: Last Mile Health won the 2026 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize for expanding primary healthcare through community health workers in Sierra Leone and other countries. Mining & Environment: President Bio says gold exports surged over 400% in H1 2026, but diamond and mineral sands fell—highlighting the need to diversify and strengthen oversight, including digital tracking for artisanal mining. Power & Climate Resilience: Sierra Leone’s grid remains highly centralized and outage-prone, while a new solar-plus-storage project aims to raise electricity access and reduce reliance on costly imported fuel. Public Finance Governance: The Ministry of Finance has started consultations to review Sierra Leone’s Public Financial Management Act, with climate finance and procurement among the areas to be updated. Local Jobs Debate: Sierra Leone’s 500,000 jobs pledge faces pressure as labour leaders argue the private sector must drive large-scale employment. Wildlife Conservation: A Sierra Leone chimpanzee conservation spotlight underscores how protecting wildlife also depends on local livelihoods.
