The Government of Sierra Leone is in the process of
rebuilding and improving the institutions of government. The Government
has identified Public Procurement as an area that needs urgent attention
to overcome widespread allegations of corrupt practices and
inefficiencies, and to build trust in the system. An efficient public
procurement system will ensure value for money of government spending,
which is essential in a country that faces enormous challenges
recovering from a decade-long civil war. The Government of Sierra Leone
(GoSL) has received a loan/grant from the World Bank and the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to undertake a comprehensive Public
Procurement Reform. Under the guise of this reform programme, it will be
of utmost importance to enable the dissemination of information to
ensure the buy-in and continued support of all stakeholders. |
