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 MSG is the governing body of the EITI in Sierra Leone with the Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh serving as the Champion, and the Minister of State in the Office of the Vice President Frances Piagie Alghali as the group’s Chair. Through SLEITI, Sierra Leone has published 8 reports covering 2006 – 2016 financial years and revealing payments made to government by mining companies and corresponding revenues received from the extractive companies. The scope of SLEITI currently includes the minerals and oil/gas sectors. The SLEITI MSG is presently implementing a 2 year work plan (2017-2019) as it strives to attain the goal of increasing revenue transparency from the extractives to enhance development for improved standard of living.
