GERMANY
The Government of Sierra Leone and the Federal Republic of Germany established diplomatic relations in the 1960s. Germany has subsequently grown to become a key bilateral partner for Sierra Leone, providing support to the country through its implementing organisations such as GIZ, KfW and local and International NGOs. In late 2023, the Federal Republic of Germany held Intergovernmental negotiations with the republic of Sierra Leone, at the end of which a protocol outlining the areas of intervention for German Cooperation in Sierra Leone was adopted. A total of €37 million was committed to implement projects mainly in the priority areas of Health, Sustainable Economic Development and Employment promotion.
The German government provided an estimated $16.96 million (€15.63 million) in grants in 2023, representing a decrease of 15.20 percent from its 2022 level.
