Chief Fodie J. Konneh serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Public Procurement Authority (NPPA), an appointment he received from His Excellency Julius Maada Bio and which was duly approved by Parliament on 12 October 2023. Since assuming office, he has introduced far-reaching reforms that are steadily reshaping the Authority and Sierra Leone’s procurement landscape.

One of his earliest priorities was to accelerate the rollout of the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system. Under his leadership, MDAs and suppliers have been systematically on-boarded, with structured training programs and user support, ensuring that high-value procurements gradually migrate to the digital platform. Closely linked to this effort has been his stewardship of the MAPS assessment follow-through, where he translated complex diagnostic findings into an action plan while simplifying the technical language for public understanding. This has allowed both practitioners and citizens to better follow, engage, and provide feedback on the country’s procurement reforms.
