The Sierra Leonean Writers Series (SLWS), led by its Publisher, Professor Osman Sankoh, COR, joined a distinguished group of artists, playwrights, filmmakers, publishers, and writers at a meeting organized by the World Bank Country Office in Freetown. The discussions focused on the critical role of the creative sector in driving economic growth and cultural development in Sierra Leone.

The World Bank introduced a pilot project aimed at fostering growth in the creative industry, highlighting its potential to contribute significantly to the national economy through job creation, innovation, and cultural expression.

As a cornerstone of Sierra Leone’s literary and publishing landscape, SLWS is well-positioned to benefit from this initiative, furthering its mission of promoting literary excellence and strengthening the country’s creative economy.
