The Order of the Republic is the premier order of the state of Sierra Leone. It was established by President Siaka Stevens in 1972, to honour Sierra Leoneans and foreign nationals for distinguished and dedicated service to Sierra Leone.
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).
