26 Nov – 6 Dec 2025
Problem Bank is a platform designed to help builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone find and solve important national problems. It provides a curated list of challenges, project ideas, and "Builder's Kits" to help you get started quickly.
It's for everyone! Whether you're a student, a seasoned developer, a business professional, or just someone passionate about building a better Sierra Leone, this platform has resources to help you.
For the hackathon, the problems and ideas are provided. You must choose a challenge from the Problem Bank to work on. This ensures that all teams are focused on solving a curated set of high-impact national priorities.
Builder's Kits are step-by-step guides and templates that help you achieve specific outcomes for your project, like creating a brand, a product plan, or a pitch deck. There are different kits because building a successful project requires different skills and deliverables at each stage.
Kits typically include a mix of fill-in-the-blank templates, practical playbooks, checklists, and pre-written examples to help you produce professional-grade work quickly.
Choose the kit that matches your immediate goal. If you're planning your product, start with the PRD Kit. If you're preparing to pitch to investors, use the Pitch Master Kit. If you need a logo and brand identity, use the Branding Kit.
No, all resources on the Problem Bank, including the ideas and Builder's Kits, are free to use.
You have to have registered for the hackathon.
