The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has announced that Sierra Leone has improved its standing in Transparency International’s Global Corruption Rankings, moving from 114th position in 2024 to 109th out of 182 countries surveyed in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), published on February 10, 2026.
According to the Commission, Sierra Leone also improved its CPI score from 33 in 2024 to 34 in 2025, surpassing the Sub-Saharan Africa average score of 32. The 2025 score represents the second-highest rating the country has achieved since the CPI rankings began.
The ACC noted that over the past seven years, Sierra Leone has consistently improved its global ranking, advancing 21 places from 130th position in 2017 to 109th in 2025.
The 2025 CPI Scorecard widely regarded as the world’s leading independent assessment of national efforts to combat corruption shows that Sierra Leone now ranks ahead of 73 countries globally, including 30 African nations such as Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mali, Egypt, Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, Comoros, Gabon, Angola, Madagascar, Mozambique, Niger, and Libya.
The Commission stated that the latest CPI findings reveal continued stagnation or decline in anti-corruption performance across most African countries. Despite this trend, Sierra Leone performed above the regional average for Sub-Saharan Africa.
The ACC further recalled that Sierra Leone has recorded consistently strong results in the “Control of Corruption” indicator of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Scorecard, achieving scores above 70 percent for eight consecutive years.
In conclusion, the Commission reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining and improving Sierra Leone’s performance across national, sub-regional, regional, and global anti-corruption governance indices.
