Neither country has a national Episcopal Conference, but they form a joint one for the Gambia and Sierra Leone, which hosts it in Freetown. [1]

There are no titular sees. All defunct jurisdictions are precursors of present sees.

There formally is an Apostolic Nunciature (embassy-level papal diplomatic representation) to Sierra Leone and an Apostolic Nunciature to The Gambia, but both are vested in the Apostolic Nunciature to Liberia (in its capital Monrovia).
