Digital transformation and connectivity in West Africa

Overview

Liberia and Sierra Leone have initiated a partnership to advance digital procurement through the collaboration of Liberia’s Telecommunications Authority and Public Procurement and Concessions Commission with Sierra Leone’s National Public Procurement Authority. The goal is to modernize public-sector procurement systems and support e-governance through transparent, technology-driven processes.

In Sierra Leone, efforts to expand digital infrastructure include a feasibility study aimed at establishing broadband connectivity for public institutions such as schools, health centers, and government offices. This initiative focuses on ‘last-mile connectivity’ to reach both Freetown and secondary cities. Supported by the World Bank, the Sierra Leone Digital Transformation Project seeks to modernize administrative and educational services, building on previous efforts to provide internet access to schools and universities.
