New Report Reveals Persistent Corruption in Sierra Leone Despite High Transparency Score

A decade-long review of Sierra Leone’s governance has exposed a troubling paradox: while the country has made significant strides in transparency, corruption continues to remain deeply entrenched.
This is according to a 2025 report from Corruption Risk, an international governance monitoring platform.
Developed through a collaboration between the European Research Centre for Anti-Corruption and State-Building and the Anti-Corruption & Governance Center at the Center for International Private Enterprise, the report evaluates Sierra Leone’s progress in key areas of integrity and transparency.
