Executive summary
Current state
The World Bank has approved a $50 million IDA grant to Sierra Leone's electricity distribution utility (EDSA) for recovery and energy access, targeting the utility's $108 million liabilities, 50%+ losses, and 36% national access rate. This creates multiple commercial gaps where capital meets implementation bottlenecks.
Market catalyst
EDSA has catastrophic management vacancies (implied by $108M liabilities and >50% losses) that will prevent effective implementation of the $50M World Bank grant, creating a hiring bottleneck that must be resolved before disbursements can proceed.
