This initiative is part of the NCRA’s commitment to bringing vital civil registration services closer to the communities of Sierra Leone.
Headquartered in Magburaka Town, the district Headquarters of Tonkolili, the establishment of sub offices across the nation is a strategic step aimed at ensuring that no one is left behind in accessing essential services. Mr. Mohamed MubashirMassaquoi, the Director General of NCRA, emphasizes the importance of collaboration with local communities, councillors, members of parliament, institutional heads, and civil society organisations to fulfil this vision.
“The NCRA is dedicated to proposing effective solutions for civil registration through our partnerships within the communities,” Mr. Massaquoi always stated. “We encourage our staff to maintain these collaborative efforts, particularly in areas where NCRA does not yet have offices, to ensure that our services reach the doorsteps of all the people of Sierra Leone.”

Plans are underway to extend our services to more areas, ensuring that we continue to meet the needs of our communities.”
