EXECUTIVE SUMMARY





  1. As part of the Government of Sierra Leone’s (GoSL) commitment to strengthening the performance of public institutions for efficient service delivery, a Public Sector Reform Programme has been developed with help from development partners.

  2. The primary objectives of the Reform programme include the restructuring and capacitating of Ministries. The process includes conducting Management and Functional Reviews, which examine the structures, mission, vision, mandate, and processes used in each Ministry and make recommendations on the way forward.

  3. The Ministry of Transport and Aviation has the important mandate of ensuring safe and reliable transport systems in Sierra Leone. This mandate covers all the modes of transport including road, air, and sea.

  4. Over the years specific agencies have been set up to manage each of these modes of transport, including the Sierra Leone Airport Authority, Sierra Leone Maritime Administration, and the Sierra Leone Road Transport Corporation.

  5. The oversight control of the Ministry over these agencies has been further affected by the National Commission for Privatization which was established in 2002 to manage certain public enterprises marked for privatization.

  6. Currently, the Ministry has an oversight authority over seven agencies inlcuidng Sierra Leone Ports Authority(SLPA), Sierra Leone Airports Authority(SLAA), Sierra Leone Roads Transport Corporation(SLRTC), Sierra Leone Maritime Administration(SLMA), Sierra Leone Roads Transport Authority(SLRTA), Meteorological Department (MD), and Sierra Leone Civil Aviation Authority(SLCAA).




  1. This supervision is shared with the NCP with regards to the SLRTC, SLPA, and SLAA, all of which are have been earmarked for possible privatization.




  1. The Ministry is peculiar in that it only has administrative staff who supervise the activities in the sector. It does not have a technical wing like other Ministries. In effect, the semi-autonomous agencies it supervises perform the technical functions for the sector.




  1. The Management and Functional Review of the Ministry process therefore included a review of these agencies in order to gain a proper understanding of the relationships. However, this review was limited to four agencies out of the seven. These include the Civil Aviation Authority, Maritime Administration, Road Transport Authority, and the Meteorological Department. The remaining three agencies are large and complex institutions in their own right and, as such, merit individual reviews. These will be conducted as soon as possible.
