    Brief

    The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is seeking suppliers through early market engagement for a new private sector development programme in Sierra Leone. This programme will complement the FCDO-British International Investment (BII) joint initiative, Horizon Sierra Leone, by strengthening foundational conditions for investment in tradable sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing. The programme will deliver four main areas of support: (1) Targeted business support including market scoping, feasibility studies, and innovative financing solutions to help investors and businesses identify opportunities and reduce entry risks; (2) Technical assistance to strengthen market systems and enable growth across agriculture, inputs, logistics, and infrastructure services; (3) Support to anchor firms and supply chain participants to adopt inclusive business practices, particularly increasing women's employment, leadership representation, and women-owned business sourcing; and (4) Advisory support to government entities to implement priority reforms that improve the business environment, unlock sectoral growth, and strengthen financial sector capacity. This is an early market engagement opportunity for potential suppliers interested in delivering technical assistance and advisory services.
