Welcome to Sierra Leone Policy Watch Sticky

Diaspora Voting Rights ImageSierra Leone Policy Watch Inc is an emerging independent, nonprofit public policy think tank, in its embryonic stage incorporated, January 13th 2011 that helps to improve policy and decision making through research and analysis. We believe objective analysis usually results to effective solutions.

We promote good governance within the context of Sierra Leone’s socio-economic realities as they relate to the rule of law, economic freedom, political freedom, transparency and accountability. We partner with the government of the day, to meet key development thresholds in the Government’s poverty reduction and economic growth efforts, to include loopholes usually not reflected in the generally accepted economic indicators espoused by development agencies such as the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the Millennium Development Goals of the World Bank and the IMF. We focus on development strategies that suit our local realities.

Thanks to all members of the Board, Executive Committee and Advisory Committees, general membership and participants for all your efforts and all the contributions that lead to a successful conference.

Those who traveled from out of state, we thank you for the extra s effort and we hope you are back home safely.

The conference was engaging and informative for all those who attended including the 546 active viewers on the web. The live streaming was great. We received a lot of feed back from viewers around the world.

Everyone did there best and the result was good. It is obvious that when all hands are on deck the work becomes much lighter for all. Great and thanks once more to everyone.

The next phase begins now. We shall work on the report of the conference in the next few days. Please share with us if you think there is anything we can improve on for next year.
