The Cabinet of Sierra Leone has officially approved the National Records Management and Archives Policy, a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability within the government.
The historic policy establishes a comprehensive framework for managing public records and preserving national archives in both digital and paper formats.
With the approval, the government notably seeks to ensure that decisions are based on reliable data, reinforcing public trust in governmental institutions.
“This policy sets the foundation for managing public records and preserving our national memory,” the official report stated. The initiative is designed to promote accountability among public institutions while providing citizens with better access to crucial information.
Reportedly, it is the first time for Sierra Leone to implement such policy, reflecting a strong commitment to democratic governance. The Cabinet’s decision has garnered widespread support from civil society organizations and media partners, who view it as a vital step toward improving governance in the country.
Acknowledgments have been made to all parties involved in the policy’s development, particularly the Ministry of Information and Civic Education and former Minister Mohamed Rahman Swarray, whose contributions were notably essential in laying the groundwork for this achievement.
