Action Plan 4
Sierra Leone’s fourth action plan contains four commitments that aim to address national priorities such as transparency in elections and the extractives sector. The government and civil society collaboratively designed the action plan. Civil society input led to commitments to open parliament and to strengthen access to justice.
Sierra Leone’s fourth action plan contains commitments of broad interest to the public and continues reforms in beneficial ownership (BO), access to justice, and open parliament. Open elections represent a new area of reform that aims to increase election integrity and transparency around registered voters. A majority of the commitments place emphasis on civic engagement and government transparency. In addition, some commitments lay important groundwork for reforms to public transparency and accountability to address corruption and conflict of interest in government. Following challenges to implement the third action plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this action plan includes fewer commitments than the previous one. (More)
Now is the time for governments to invest in reforms that can accelerate and improve how they deliver quality education, healthcare, water and sanitation, and supportive infrastructure.

These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.
