international technical assistance and capacity-building for migrating a percentage of the country’s power generation away from heavy liquid fuel to natural gas that is trucked to site. In that regard, my Government is seeking collaboration with local companies and engineering companies from around the world. We believe that investment in renewable energy sources and liquefied natural gas will help us to meet SDG 7 by modernizing our energy-generation systems, which will have a multiplier effect by helping our country to meet the SDGs for poverty alleviation through job creation and increased investments in health, water delivery and cities. We are determined to make Sierra Leone the renewable energy hub of the Economic Community of West African States region. Our vision is positive for our world’s climate, for foreign and local investors and development and for our country.
