This was made possible with support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), where we officially launched the Gender-Sensitive National E-Mobility Strategy for Sierra Leone (2024-2035) and Pilot Electric Vehicles and Charging Stations.
Madam Mimi Sobba-Stevens, the deputy minister of Environment and Climate Change, officially launched the strategy in an audience that included members of the media, international missions, school nature clubs, the private sector, security forces, and other related ministries, departments, and agencies.
Dr Abu-Bakar Massaquoi, Executive Chairman of the Environment Protection Agency, stated that the strategy will be integrated into NDC 3.0 and proposed as a pathway to carbon neutrality by 2050.
The agency will also investigate the possibility of developing a framework for carbon credits that may be accrued and paid for annually by significant polluters, establishing a carbon market system, and developing the next NBSAP to investigate the interconnection of nature with climate change.
Other speakers commended the move to go green to protect the earth. They confirmed their commitment to ensuring Sierra Leone’s transition from oil and fossil fuel dependency to renewable energy through electric mobility.
The first- ever consignment of electric-powered rickshaws known locally as Keke, which arrived in the country recently, will soon start running after they were launched past Saturday by Neev Sierra Leone- the company managing them.
Neev''s Chief Operating Officer, Emmanuella Sandy said they expect about 50 percent reduction in fares compared to the petrol- using kekes.She told attendees at the launch in Freetown that they are eco-friendly and will ease the transportation challenges faced by commuters.
The ultimate goal for Neev Salone as a company is to secure a plant with equipment for assembling them in the country that could employ some 500 workers, with the goal of employing up to 2,000 staff as they intend on assembling electric vehicles here as well, she disclosed.
Chief Operations Supervisor, Solomon Tucker, noted that early October last year they invited the manufacturers to the country to ascertain if they fit the Sierra Leonean terrain considering the mountainous environment, and got approval. He said they will be expanding to the provinces in the future.
Responding to a question on how long would the charging last, he said a charged keke and bike will run for 120 kilometers and for the backed with solar energy will reach up to 150 kilometers, which he described as almost a whole day riding.
