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 massive public trust deficit due to >50% losses, frequent outages, and financial mismanagement, while World Bank needs independent verification that their $50M investment is achieving results - creating demand for credible third-party performance auditing.
