A Champion of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement, Edward seeks to stimulate trade and industrial expansion as a key driver for revamping economic growth in Sierra Leone. There cannot be a better time to welcome investors wanting to establish industries in the country.

Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora who wish to establish SMEs particularly in Agri-Processing business, ICT, Value Addition etc now have a space and the support of the Ministry to do so. The Trade and Industry bells are ringing! The signs are clear, the contribution of manufacturing to GDP has significantly improved in the last 3 years and it is only going to get better with the sustained policy reforms around industry growth (Revised Industry Policy, the SEZ policy etc).
