OGP aspires to support both government and civil society reformers by elevating open government to the highest levels of political discourse, providing ‘cover’ for difficult reforms, and creating a supportive community of like-minded reformers from countries around the world.

Sierra Leone joined the OGP in November 2013, a month after its passed the Right to Access Information (RAI) law which additionally emboldened its commitment to transparency and gave us eligibility to the open government partnership.
