Economics Statistics Division Statistics Sierra Leone An Effort under the NSDS i | Statistics Sierra Leone – TransportDecember Sector Statistics, 2014 Publication 2013 Acknowledgement This 2013 edition of the Transport Sector Statistics Bulletin is an effort by Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL) under the Statistical Capacity Building Infrastructure Project of the African Development Project and the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) to provide accurate and timely statistics to meet the growing demand for data on the Transport Sector. The Transport Sector Statistics Bulletin collects and makes available statistics on air, road and water transportation sectors and on related traffic and infrastructure. The bulletin comprises data collected from all the seven parastatals that are under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport and Aviation. In order to enhance the production of complete and dissemination of reliable, timely, and relevant Transport Sector data, the Statistician deployed in the Ministry relates to all of these parastatals, dialoguing with the various Heads/Directors and professional staff on the need for producing reliable and timely statistics. He also collects data from each of these parastatals, as well as provides guidance on the methodologies and procedures required for accurate data generation. The Bulletin has been compiled by a dedicated Team of Statisticians under my Supervision. SSL Management therefore acknowledges the immense contribution which the following people made towards the compilation of this Bulletin: Abu Bakarr Turay Director- Economic Statistics Division and James A. Medo, Statistician - Ministry of Transport and Aviation. We also wish to thank the Heads and Professional Staff of the following Parastatals for their immense support during the data collection: Sierra Leone Road Transport Authority (SLRTA) Sierra Leone Road Transport Corporation (SLRTC) Sierra Leone Airport Authority (SLAA) Sierra Leone Maritime Administration (SLMA) Sierra Leone National Shipping Company (SLNSC) Sierra Leone Port Authority (SLPA) Meteorological Department Sierra Leone Civil Aviation Authority (SLCAA) We are also grateful to Government and all our Development Partners for funding SSL’s data collection activities, especially this Bulletin.
