ICNL provides technical assistance in the form of comments on the proposed Development Cooperation Framework, which retains many of the restrictive provisions from the NGO Policy government adopted in late 2017. ICNL has facilitated the exchange of best practices and learning between organizations in Sierra Leone and other ICNL partners confronting similar issues on the continent. We are supporting a local partner to sensitize local CSOs on best practices for NGO policies and to advocate for a more progressive policy and legal framework for NGOs.
