On February 27, 2026, the Project for Enhancing the Impact of Rural Renewable Energy officially closed in Sierra Leone. Funded by Japan and executed by UNOPS, the project installed solar power plants and distribution systems in six communities in Bo District, providing sustainable electricity to over 15,000 residents.

Initiated in 2021, it supports Sierra Leone's electricity sector reform and aims to enhance public service delivery and economic growth. The project aligns with national goals to increase electricity access from 36% to 78% by 2030. Stakeholders are encouraged to ensure long-term sustainability of the facilities.
