“It aims to build a sustainable future for all Sierra Leoneans, requiring sound macroeconomic management and fiscal policies for a society with strong institutions to facilitate good governance, the social, economic and political empowerment of women and youth, the required social support for the disadvantaged, increased transparency and accountability, and justice for all.”
“A Constitutional Review Committee has been established with a broad spectrum of membership, drawn from all political parties, the civil society, women, youth, disabled and even the Diaspora. The process will be inclusive and guided by critical analysis in a broad national debate with the aim to strengthen democratic institutions and promote national unity. We expect the Committee to submit a Draft Review within two years.”
“Resolving and preventing conflict and violence, creating jobs, providing further incentives for foreign direct investment, broadening human and financial resources, ensuring gender equality, and promoting human rights and the rule of law are not only fundamental to human progress; they are integral to sustainable development.”

“We have also enacted the Sexual Offences Act 2012 to address the specific issue of sexual violence against women and girls. Sierra Leone will continue to collaborate with the United Nations and other interested partners in promoting the enactment of the Gender Equality Bill to enhance women's participation in the decision-making process.”
“With support from the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and the Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) as well as other international and local development partners, Sierra Leone continues to make significant gains in the areas of good governance, human rights, gender equality and the fight against transnational organized crimes. In this regard, a number of international treaties have been ratified and national legislations enacted to address these challenges, which have the potential to undermine ongoing peacebuilding and peace consolidation efforts.”
