Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone continues to address substantial infrastructure deficits in energy, transport and water systems, which constrain productivity and investment. Rehabilitation of roads, expansion of electricity access and port improvements aim to support mining, agriculture and trade. However, fiscal constraints and governance challenges affect implementation capacity. Strengthening regulatory frameworks and improving public financial management are central to maximising the development impact of infrastructure financing.
