One critical sub-component of the PSSNYE project is the Green Public Works (GPW) implemented by the Freetown City Council. To ensure the effective and efficient implementation of the GPW and part of the Digital Public Workrs, NaCSA and FCC has collaborated.

In his statement, the Commissioner on behalf of His Excellency President Dr Julius Maada Bio welcomed the FCC team and assured them of his team’s commitment to effective delivery of the entire PSSNYE project development objectives under his leadership. He further requested the mayor to be pivotal in sharing lessons learned by her municipality with the other municipalities in the districts including the Makeni, Port-loko, New Sembehun, Kenema and Bo municipalities.   It’s been decided that these municipalities will implement part of the DPW.  

In response, Her Worship the Mayor thanked the Commissioner and staff of NaCSA for supporting works of the municipality and request for continued commitment and collaboration in implementating of the PSSNYE Project.  

In concluding the discussions, the Commissioner assured Her worship of his continued support to all institutions implementing the PSSNYE project particularly because it is in the best interest of all Sierra Leoneans and *His Excellency Dr Julius Maada Bio remains committed to serving the people of Sierra Leone*.
