This international forum brings together energy leaders, policymakers, investors, and stakeholders to foster collaboration and share best practices in energy management. It serves as a platform for countries to accelerate progress toward universal energy access, climate resilience, and economic growth.
During his address, President Bio is expected to emphasise on the need for increased investment in renewable energy projects to drive sustainable development in Sierra Leone, the importance of global partnerships* in addressing energy challenges faced by developing nations and Sierra Leone’s strategies for achieving energy security and economic prosperity through clean energy initiatives.
By participating in this global dialogue, President Bio aims to position Sierra Leone as a proactive player in shaping energy policies that promote equity and sustainability.
As the world faces increasing energy security concerns and climate change challenges, President Bio’s presence at the SEforALL Global Forum presents a crucial opportunity for Sierra Leone to attract strategic investments and partnerships in its energy sector. His advocacy is expected to strengthen Sierra Leone’s role in the global energy transition, ensuring that the country benefits from international efforts to expand clean and accessible energy solutions.
