Plum Plums Cheese, which also sells a wide range of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and other foods (such as all-natural jams and organic olive oils), and artisan gifts is to open in April at 149 Cherry St.
Gayle Martin, who launched Plum Plums Cheese in 2014 with her husband Michael Riahi after the two met while working in the wine business, said it made sense when they couldn’t come to terms with a new landlord in Pound Ridge to move to New Canaan, in part because many of their customers are from here.
World Bank supports electrification program in Sierra Leone with $50mln Monday, 01 February 2021 17:29
(Ecofin Agency) - The World Bank announced it has approved the disbursement of $50 million to support the electricity sector in Sierra Leone. The money will be provided by the International Development Association (IDA) in partnership with the Japan Policy and Human Resources Development Fund, which is granting $2.7 million of the amount. It will bring clean energy to 276,000 Sierra Leoneans and 700 schools and health centers.
The project will help prevent the emission of 15,135 tons of greenhouse gases per year, the institution said. Sierra Leone has an electrification rate of 23%, well below the average 30% in the subregion. However, the government is striving to reach this regional threshold by 2030.

Sierra Leone Telegraph: 29 January 2021:
The World Bank Board of Executive Directors today approved a $50 million grant from the International Development Association (IDA) to improve access to electricity in Sierra Leone and enhance institutional capacity and commercial management of the sector.
The project will also be co-financed with a $2.7 million grant by the Japan Policy and Human Resources Development Fund.
The Enhancing Sierra Leone Energy Access project will support the country’s post COVID-19 economic recovery by providing electricity to households, businesses, health clinics and schools, which is a critical part of the recovery process. It also supports the replacement of costly fuel generation plants with low cost power, which would free up scarce fiscal resources for other urgent socio-economic needs.
