Civic Champion Award 2024 trophy won by SLONEC

SLONEC SL is proud to announce that it has been recognised as one of the awardees of the prestigious Civic Champion Awards 2024 under the Digitise Sierra Leone (Digitise Salone) category, organised by the Ministry of Information and Civic Education, Government of Sierra Leone.

This recognition represents a significant milestone in SLONEC’s journey and reaffirms our commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and civic empowerment across Sierra Leone. The award celebrates organisations that are contributing meaningfully to the country’s digital development agenda, improving access to information, strengthening systems, and supporting inclusive growth through technology and innovation.

Our Founder & CEO, Mr. Ishmael Bangura, proudly received the award on behalf of SLONEC during the official award ceremony. The moment marked not only an organisational achievement, but also a recognition of the collective effort, vision, and dedication that continue to drive SLONEC’s work in supporting institutions, businesses, and communities.

The Civic Champion Award highlights SLONEC’s role in promoting digital solutions, strengthening governance and accountability systems, and supporting initiatives that enhance civic awareness and participation. Through our consultancy, accountancy, training, and advisory services, we remain committed to leveraging technology and innovation to deliver sustainable impact.

This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our team, the continued trust and support of our partners, and the confidence of the communities and institutions we serve. It stands as a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration, shared purpose, and a clear vision for national development.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Information and Civic Education and all stakeholders involved in organising the Civic Champion Awards. We also thank everyone who has supported SLONEC on this journey.

As we celebrate this recognition, we remain focused on our mission to contribute to a more digitally empowered, transparent, and prosperous Sierra Leone. Together, we will continue driving impactful change and shaping a brighter future for our nation.
