Our People Are Our Greatest Resource
The strength of Sierra Leone lies not in its diamonds, gold, or fertile land—but in its people. Investing in human capital means building the minds, skills, and well-being of every citizen. It means empowering our youth, educating our children, training our workforce, and ensuring our people are healthy and able to contribute meaningfully to the country’s development.
Vision: To make Sierra Leone a global model of human-centered development by 2035, where every citizen has access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunity.
Current Challenges
- Over 60% of youth are unemployed or underemployed
- Only 48% of children complete primary school
- The ratio of healthcare workers to the population is among the lowest in West Africa
- Brain drain continues to weaken national capacity
