By James T. BrooksThe World Bank has formally signaled its support for Liberia’s ambitious energy transformation following the official launch of the Liberia Energy Compact Delivery and Monitoring Unit (CDMU). Liberia’s National Energy Compact represents a far-reaching commitment to its citizens, initially endorsed by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai at the Mission 300 (M300) Africa Energy Summit in Tanzania. The roadmap is centered on a primary objective: scaling up energy access to reach 75 percent of the Liberian population within a five-year window. This partnership builds on a foundation of existing success, where World Bank financing has already facilitated energy access for over 800,000 Liberians. Moving forward, the Bank’s engagement will continue through the Liberia Energy Sector Strengthening and Access Project (LESSAP), which aims to provide electricity to an additional 1.25 million people.
