Sierra Leone joined the EITI to promote transparency and accountability in the management of its minerals and oil/gas sectors and later established the SLEITI Multi-Stakeholder Group comprising government, mining companies and civil society representatives.
The Multi-Stakeholder Group is working towards development of a SLEITI Policy and enactment of the SLEITI Bill to remove legal barriers to implementation. The scope of SLEITI currently includes the minerals and oil/gas sectors.
