In the first in the EEG Energy Insights series, Simon Trace explores some of the energy challenges faced in Sierra Leone, a country with one of the lowest rates of access to electricity in the world.

This first research programme from EEG aims to provide valuable insights for planning and policy development.

Based on the challenges and opportunities outlined, a Call for Applications was issued in March 2018.
