description

In Liberia, improved energy access will support the informal sector and help the most vulnerable people recover from the loss in incomes due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Liberia Electricity Sector Strengthening and Access Project (LESSAP) is the first project of a multi-phase programmatic approach with a goal to provide sustainable, reliable, and affordable electricity to 632,500 Liberians. The project will rehabilitate and expand electricity infrastructure and provide sustainable solutions for electricity access. Liberia's Minister of Mines and Energy, Hon. Gesler Murray reflects in this video on the current state of the power sector in the country and the government's ambition to connect more citizens to the grid and provide them with more affordable and reliable energy.
