The Public Sector Reform Unit (PSRU) and the Electricity and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) have initiated a collaborative process to engage stakeholders in the review of EWRC’s institutional structures between the 16th and the 18th April 2026 at the Occasion Resort in Lakka, Western Area Rural District.
The engagement is aimed at strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing service delivery, and ensuring that the Commission remains responsive to the evolving needs of Sierra Leone’s electricity and water sectors.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Commission, Honourable Ing. P.K. Lansana, expressed his heartfelt appreciation to all stakeholders and reiterated the importance of the engagement.
“This engagement signals a significant milestone in the reformation of the Commission as it aims to review a wide range of structures, including the regulatory framework and governance structures.” He said.
Furthermore, the Director of Legal, Regulations and Outreach, Lawyer Abu Bakarr Iscandri Conteh, stressed the importance of collaboration as a strategy to achieving institutional significance.
He also emphasised that regulatory institutions are established by law to fix a fundamental anomaly. “The success of institutions (particularly regulatory bodies) is dependent on compliance, which can be effectively achieved through strategic collaborations.” He stated.
Finally, the joint initiative by PSRU and EWRC underscores the importance of inclusive stakeholder engagement in public sector reforms. By reviewing and refining EWRC’s structures, Sierra Leone aims to build a more effective regulatory environment that supports sustainable development, protects consumers, and fosters growth in the electricity and water sectors.
