AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Urban Governance: The EU and Freetown City Council launched the SURGE project to strengthen municipal management, improve service delivery, and boost local economic opportunities—especially for women and young people—through better financial systems, participatory planning, and support for King Jimmy Market reconstruction and sanitation-linked livelihoods. Water Safety: Sierra Leone’s Water Ministry stepped up checks on private water companies after a five-day monitoring drive across Freetown and the peninsula, inspecting 41 facilities for hygiene, treatment systems, storage, and compliance—flagging uneven standards and calling for corrective action. Pollution & Public Health: Garbage piles at the Waterloo dumpsite near Tombo Junction are encroaching onto the Bomeh Main Highway, worsening traffic and raising health risks as informal produce offloading and trading grows around waste. River Protection: EPA Sierra Leone destroyed five giant illegal dredges on the Moa River near SALWACO’s intake point in Kenema, targeting pollution and ecosystem damage linked to unlawful dredging. Health Leadership: Sierra Leone’s Health Minister led the country’s delegation at WHO Africa’s regional health summit, focusing on workforce, universal health coverage financing, emergency preparedness, health data, and early childhood development. Climate-Linked Food Security: A new study highlights how retaining more locally caught fish could improve nutrition across West Africa, including Sierra Leone, by addressing fisheries management and food-nutrition security in policy and access agreements.
