The feasibility study for the freetown cable car system is being presented to the steering committee

The two-year feasibility studies for the Freetown Cable Car system started in July 2022. The feasibility studies are being funded by the C40 Cities Finance Facility and undertaken by an international consortium of experts led by GIZ. Yesterday the preliminary technical, financial and environmental results of the feasibility studies were presented to the Project Steering Committee meeting by Nirmish Pal of GFA and Samuella Faulkner of Integems respectively. The inaugural Freetown Cable Car Steering Committee meeting was attended by the Deputy Minister of Local Government Hon Alfred Moi Jamiru and senior representatives of the Ministeries of Finance, Transport and Lands. The meeting which will now be held on a monthly basis was very constructive. Today members of the Project Coordination Unit, which also includes SLRA, PPP Unit, Ministry of Works and Ministry of Economic Development are continuing today with more technical meetings having conducted site visits earlier this week. We are pleased with the progress being made with the feasibility studies which already confirm that the Cable Car system will be both technically and financially feasible. We look forward to advancing engagements with potential private sector and grant funders of the Freetown Cable Car system.
