Development Showcase
See the Progress. Experience the Impact. Shape the Future.
The Development Showcase is one of the signature experiences of the Salone Civic Festival — a dynamic exhibition space where Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), development partners, and key national institutions present their achievements, innovations, and public-impact programs.
Designed as an interactive and visually immersive environment, the Development Showcase allows citizens to see, touch, and experience the progress happening across Sierra Leone’s governance, infrastructure, social services, and digital landscape.
What Is the Development Showcase?
It is a curated exhibition area featuring:
- Government Booths showcasing national achievements, policy updates, and service innovations
- Live demonstrations of new tools, platforms, and digital services
- Interactive displays using screens, VR/AR, models, and hands-on experiences
- Partner exhibitions, highlighting impactful development projects
- Thematic zones aligned with the Big Five Game Changers
From agriculture to health, education to technology, entrepreneurship to governance reforms — the Showcase brings the country’s progress to life.
