*Sierra Leone Local Content Agency Participates in a 3-Day ECOWAS-MTHE led National Capacity Building Workshop for TVET Actors in Freetown*

Pioneering policies that expand national participation in economic activity, the Sierra Leone Local Content Agency stands as a natural partner in the country’s TVET agenda, where the cultivation of industry-relevant skills is indispensable to expanding local content and enhancing workforce competitiveness. It was therefore fitting that the Agency joined fellow stakeholders in Freetown from 7–9 July 2026 for the ECOWAS–MTHE led National Institutional Capacity Building Workshop for TVET Actors.

The 3-day programme focused on strengthening the governance, quality, and responsiveness of TVET systems in line with the ECOWAS TVET Strategy for Skills Improvement and Employability (ETSSIE).

Discussions highlighted the imperative of aligning curriculum with labour market needs and priority economic sectors while improving institutional leadership and coordination.

Participants also examined persistent regional challenges (in Member States), including obsolete training facilities, weak industry linkages, fragmented governance structures, poor inter-agency coordination, the low societal perception of technical and vocational careers, and chronic underfunding, evidenced by the significant disparity between expenditure on TVET and tertiary education; approximately 2% and 6%, respectively.

The workshop culminated in the development of a national implementation plan for Sierra Leone, which holds a portion that specifically assigns a pivotal role to robustly strengthen the Agency's National Technical Skills Database. This initiative is expected to enhance employment linkages, improve the visibility of qualified TVET graduates, and support a more efficient match between skilled workers and labour market opportunities, thereby advancing the shared objective of inclusive growth and competitiveness.
