The feasibility study will focus on constructing a 1,600-kilometer fiber backbone network nationwide and expanding fixed broadband networks, spearheaded by Africell Sierra Leone.

CEO Shadi Al-Gerjawi outlined the study’s objectives, emphasizing the construction of resilient infrastructure and the expansion of broadband access networks, with a commitment to transparency and compliance with American government contracting regulations.

The study aims to assess economic and technical viability, considering factors such as consumer demand, topography, demography, and existing infrastructure, while promoting the use of U.S. technology and expertise.

This partnership signifies a crucial step forward in enhancing connectivity and advancing technological infrastructure in Sierra Leone, driving socio-economic development and fostering innovation for a more connected and prosperous future.
