The Commissioner General of the National Revenue Authority (NRA), Mrs. Jeneba J. Bangura, together with officials from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), officially launched the Block Management System (BMS) offices in the Western Area at Jui Junction.
Reflecting on the growing partnership between the NRA and UNDP, Mrs. Bangura highlighted key achievements over the past three years, including support for the vehicle procurement system and the upcoming delivery of a water bowser. She noted that the containerized BMS offices will bring tax services closer to communities, improving access to taxpayer services and education. On behalf of the NRA Board and Management, she expressed appreciation to UNDP for its continued support and called for further collaboration to expand the initiative to Kono, Bo, Makeni, and Kenema as part of plans to deploy more containerized offices nationwide.
UN Resident Representative Mr. Fredrick Ampiah commended the NRA as a valued UNDP partner and expressed confidence that the BMS initiative could serve as a model for other countries.
Speaking on the operational impact, NRA Commissioner for Domestic Taxes, Mr. James B. Tengbeh, explained that the BMS offices will decentralize taxpayer services and strengthen outreach by making services more accessible and convenient.
The initiative was also commended by representatives of the Tax Movement, the Commercial Bank Association, Sierra Leone Importers Association, and the Western Area Rural District Traders Union who highlighted the strength of the NRA–UNDP partnership.
