NPPA, AfDB Review Progress on Sierra Leone’s Public Procurement Reforms

The National Public Procurement Authority (NPPA), Chief Executive Officer Fodie J. Konneh, has held a strategic engagement with an African Development Bank (AfDB) delegation led by Governance Officer Madam Andara Kamara to review progress on the implementation of key public procurement reforms.

The meeting formed part of the Bank’s ongoing assessment of policy reforms under its budget support operations, following its decision to resume budget support to Sierra Leone.

Discussions focused on major procurement reform measures, including recommendations from the Methodology for Assessing Procurement Systems (MAPS), the digital transformation of public procurement through the Salone Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) System, institutional capacity development, and the professionalization of the procurement cadre.
