15 分钟之前· Like in much of West Africa, lengthy traffic jams in Sierra Leone''s major cities and poorly maintained vehicles with inefficient exhausts exacerbate the emissions problem. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says that in 2021, fine particle air pollution killed 1,200 people in Sierra Leone, a country of 8.5 million people.
As of 2020, Sierra Leone''s rural electrification rate stood at a mere 4.8%, making it one of the lowest rates in sub-Saharan Africa. Acknowledging the challenges posed by costly grid expansion, the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) has
As of 2018, only 26% of the population is connected to the grid; in rural areas, grid connections are as low as 6%. In an effort to improve national electrification rates, the Government of Sierra Leone has adopted several policies to prioritize and promote decentralized solar energy solutions.

Sierra Leone''s power sector is small, with less than 150 MW of operational capacity and roughly 150,000 connected customers. 1.229MW in 2030, increased access to Renewable off-grid solutions, but also objectives such as increased access to improved cooking technologies or improved charcoal production. The goals are outlined for 2020 and
In Sierra Leone, various subsidies as well as the removal of the goods and services tax (GST) on operators have been provided to reduce mini-grid end-user tariffs. But it is recognized, by Sierra Leone stakeholders, that further interventions are still needed to address mini-grid tariff affordability and therefore access.
