SALWACO Unveils Reform Agenda to Become Functional and Financially Viable Utility

The Sierra Leone Water Company (SALWACO) has taken a decisive step toward institutional reform and financial sustainability following a three-day strategic retreat in Bo District focused on crafting its 2026-2030 Strategic Development Plan (SDP).
It was held under the theme “Transforming SALWACO into a Functional and Financially Viable Institution.” The retreat signaled a renewed push to strengthen governance structures, modernize operations, and reposition the company as a results-driven public utility.
The initiative forms part of Managing Director Ing. Tiideni Hawa Jabbi’s 100-day assumption-of-office roadmap since taking office in November 2025. By prioritizing the development of a comprehensive five-year strategy early in her tenure, she underscored the importance of long-term planning as the foundation for institutional transformation.
In her opening address, the Managing Director called for collective ownership of the reform process, urging board members, management, and staff to contribute to a practical and measurable strategy that would improve efficiency and strengthen service delivery nationwide.
