Open Gov Challenge: Sierra Leone
Amend the Ombudsman Law to Increase Access to Justice
What’s the issue? In Sierra Leone, the government has identified public administration issues and complaints and wants to address them in a faster, more efficient way.
What’s the plan? To do this, Sierra Leone committed to amending the existing Ombudsman Act and enacting its regulations. To ensure the public’s needs are reflected, the government will conduct focus group discussions and public consultations to shape these legal updates and provide training to build staff capacity in the Ombudsman Office.
Why is this ambitious? This participatory approach to reform can help ensure that legislative amendments are better and more responsive to the lived experiences of ordinary citizens.
