Mr. Kamara said the Organization will be a solid force in supporting the Government to effectively achieve sustainable development growth in Sierra Leone.
Signing the MoU on behalf of the Government of Sierra Leone, the Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Dr. Francis Kai-Kai said the venture will open more opportunities for other serious investors to work and grow in Sierra Leone.
He said the sectors targeted will massively improve on the Government’s New Direction Agenda. “It is very promising and important coming here to Sierra Leone to partner with the Government and find ways of addressing the numerous challenges in these sectors.
