Sierra Leone is getting
Back to Business

Freetown's giant cotton tree, national symbol of Sierra Leone and a landmark in the capital, is also a sign of hope as peace and stability returns to the country.

The peaceful and orderly presidential and parliamentary election in 2002 set an example to the whole of Africa - and President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah with over 70% of the vote has a rock solid mandate to rebuild the country and head towards prosperity.

Life in Sierra Leone is getting back to normal as the people and Government pull together to repair, renew and regenerate.

We have taken the journey through Freetown and to the north and the south of the country on this website to picture and record the road to recovery.

Successful projects and developments are steering life back to prosperity. There are new hotels, road improvements, the airport has been modernised, there are good prospects for both the mining and fishing industries, the financial sector is expanding, houses and schools are being rebuilt.

This website will follow those improvements and keep you in touch with life as it gets Back to Business in Sierra Leone.
