At the request of the Government of Sierra Leone via the ECOWAS Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) Help Desk, supported by the Clean Energy Solutions Center and the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Power Africa initiative, SD Strategies advises the GoSL on its rural electrification strategy through analysing alternate energy access pathways, assessing potential business models, and designing an effective policy toolkit. We also assess the market potential for efficient lighting solutions and draft policies and measures that can attract greater investment in this key sector.
