The Order of the Republic is the premier order of the state of Sierra Leone.[1] It was established by President Siaka Stevens in 1972,[2] to honour Sierra Leoneans and foreign nationals for distinguished and dedicated service to Sierra Leone.[3][4]
Sierra Leonean awards, including the Order of the Republic, do not have post-nominal titles and, while there are no official abbreviations, the most common used unofficially are GCRSL (Grand Commander), CRSL (Commander) and GORSL (Grand Officer).[1]
