Description
Sierra Leone does not currently have a public integrity policy, however, it is expected that a Public Integrity Policy will institute safeguard measures that will guarantee timely access to public services. There is a Code of Conduct for all public officials and other regulations, however, adherence and popularization leaves much to be desired which adversely affects corruption. It is expected that the development of the Pacts will promote ethical and proactive performance by public officials in the discharge of their duties especially in delivering key public services in an effort to improve accountability. Actions Required/Milestones for Completion:
a) Dissemination, administration and enforcement of existing integrity policies to improve public trust strengthened.
b) 5 pilot MDAs selected to sign an integrity pact with ACC on key commitments to reduce corruption in their Institutions.
c) Service charters for 20% MDAs (including 5 pilot MDs for integrity pacts) which clearly identifies the service provided, timeframe to expect service to be rendered and any associated costs developed and displayed with clearly visible complaints mechanisms to identify when services are not rendered according to published procedures and timeframes.
d) Yearly assessment of integrity commitments undertaken for 5 pilot MDAs.
