Since 2017, ICNL has actively engaged the Government of Sierra Leone on its proposed Development Cooperation Framework (DCF) with a view to addressing restrictive provisions contained in the NGO Policy, a key component of the DCF. Specifically, ICNL provided an expert analysis of the NGO policy and supported efforts by key civil society organizations to initiate dialogue with the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development (MOPED) regarding the key concerns highlighted in ICNL’s analysis. ICNL also facilitated the exchange of best practices and learning between organizations in Sierra Leone and other ICNL partners confronting similar issues on the continent. These exchanges were designed to inform the organizations’ strategy vis-à-vis the ongoing dialogue with government on the DCF.
ICNL’s Civic Freedom Monitor provides up-to-date information on legal issues affecting civil society and civic freedoms, including the freedoms of association, expression, and peaceful assembly.
