Shaping Sierra Leone’s Sustainable Future Together
Shaping Sierra Leone’s Sustainable Future Together
SEA’s 2050 is a national, citizen-driven initiative designed to develop a long-term, sustainable development framework for Sierra Leone through to the year 2050. It represents the first global effort led by Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad to collectively define the country’s economic, social, and environmental future.
Using the globally recognized Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) methodology, this initiative ensures that sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience are embedded in national planning and decision-making processes.
What makes SEA’s 2050 exceptional is its scale and innovation. The initiative combines broad public participation particularly engaging young people under the age of 30 with advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence to analyse large volumes of public input. This guarantees that every contribution helps shape the final national vision.
SEA’s 2050 aims to produce a practical, evidence-based blueprint that will guide government policies, inform international partners, and support long-term national development planning.
