Changes in Energy Sector Financing During COVID-19: Lessons From the Ebola Outbreak in Sierra Leone

This briefing analyzes international finance commitments and disbursements to Sierra Leone following the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak, noting a sharp decline in energy sector investments despite the sector's importance for healthcare resilience during pandemics.

• Analysis of international finance commitments and disbursements to Sierra Leone following the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak reveals that energy investments decreased significantly both during and after the crisis, despite the energy sector's importance during a pandemic.
