Mission 300 Sierra Leone
A pan-African initiative connecting 300 million Africans to electricity. Positioned as a national transformation instrument for Sierra Leone's future.
Compact Delivery & Monitoring Unit (CDMU)
The Compact Delivery and Monitoring Unit is the body responsible for implementing Sierra Leone's Mission 300 Energy Compact — coordinating government, development partners, and private investors to drive the country's electricity access goals forward.
Clean Cooking Delivery Unit (CCDU)
The Clean Cooking Delivery Unit supports the CDMU on all clean cooking initiatives — expanding access to modern, affordable cooking solutions that reduce emissions, protect public health, and improve the quality of life for households across Sierra Leone.

Strategic National Transformation
Mission 300 (M300) is led by the World Bank, African Development Bank, and Sustainable Energy for All. In Sierra Leone, it is not just a sector plan — it's a transformation instrument aligning with priorities like "Feed Salone", climate resilience, and inclusive growth.
Our vision is to move from a fiscally constrained utility model to a performance-driven, investment-ready electricity market. By 2030, we aim to drastically increase access and renewable shares across the nation.
“Sierra Leone is open for investment, with a clear plan, structured pipeline, and committed leadership.”
Proudly Supported By
Grateful for the global institutions and donors powering this mission.
Five Strategic Pillars
Our roadmap to energy security and national prosperity through structured development.
Generation Expansion
Scaling grid-based generation (solar, hydro, transitional thermal) for supply stability.
Regional Integration
Strengthening interconnections within the West African Power Pool for power trade.
Distributed Renewable Energy & Clean Cooking
Delivering off-grid solutions, solar home systems, and mini-grids for rural populations — alongside clean cooking technologies to reduce household emissions and improve health outcomes.
Private Sector Participation
Structuring bankable projects and PPP frameworks to attract global investment.
Financial Viability
Improving utility performance, governance, and sector sustainability through reform.
