This week, we convened a two-day capacity building training on Transactions and International Arbitration as a framework for sustainable investment in Sierra Leone, with a focus the mining and power sectors. The training attracted participants from government and private lawyers, as well as members of the private sector in Sierra Leone.
We are grateful to our partners at the Law Firm of Hogan Lovells (London) for traveling to Sierra Leone to share their expertise with us. Immense thanks to the Sierra Leone Arbitration Steering Committee for collaborating with us on this.
Certificates were distributed at the end of the training, We remain firmly committed to implementing the provisions of the Arbitration Act 2022, including the establishment of the Sierra Leone Arbitration Center. The establishment of the center reflects a deliberate policy choice: Sierra Leone must not only have a modern arbitration legislation, but also a functioning institutional framework to support it.
