Director General of Sierra Leone Railways Development and Regulatory Authority
Ing. Dr. Albert Forde
It is my great pleasure, on behalf of the Management and staff of the Sierra Leone Railways Development and Regulatory Authority, to welcome you to our official website.
The railway sector has the potential to play a significant role in Sierra Leone’s economic transformation by providing safe, reliable, efficient, and sustainable transportation services while supporting trade, investment, job creation, and national development. The establishment of the SLRDRA reflects our commitment to creating a well-regulated and professionally managed railway sector that serves the interests of the people of Sierra Leone.
As the Authority responsible for the development and regulation of the railway sector, we are committed to promoting safety, efficiency, accountability, innovation, sustainability, and fair competition. We will work closely with Government, railway operators, investors, development partners, communities, and other stakeholders to create an enabling environment for the responsible development of railway infrastructure and services.
Our vision is to contribute to a modern and interconnected Sierra Leone where an efficient railway system supports economic growth, improves mobility, strengthens regional connectivity, and enhances access to opportunities for our citizens.
This website is designed to provide the public and our stakeholders with timely and reliable information about the Authority, our mandate, regulatory framework, programmes, projects, policies, announcements, and other developments within the railway sector.
