Vice President in charge of Congressional and Public Affairs in the United States of America, Aysha House, on Friday 12 April 2024 sent a Congressional Notification outlining the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s intent to negotiate a $480,669,000 Millennium Challenge Compact with the Government of Sierra Leone.
The proposed compact will assist the Government of Sierra Leone in addressing a binding constraint to economic growth, which is the insufficient availability of affordable and reliable electricity to satisfy demand among households, businesses, and social institutions. The proposed compact includes three key projects: (1) Transmission Backbone Project; (2) Distribution and Access Project; and (3) Power Sector Reform Project.
The transmittal sheet indicated that if any Member of Congress or their staff would like to arrange a meeting to discuss the proposed negotiations with the Government of Sierra Leone should contact Brian Forni at the MCC.
“This notification is being sent to the Congress on April 12, 2024, and negotiations with Sierra Leone may be started on or after 15 days from the date of this notification. In addition to the enclosed notification, we have included supplemental information regarding the planned compact.
