Government Sets Date for Annual Celebration of Public Service Workers

The Cabinet of Sierra Leone has approved the formal recognition and institutionalisation of June 23, observed globally as United Nations World Public Service Day, as an annual national commemoration in the country.

The decision will provide a platform to recognise, celebrate, and honour the dedication, professionalism, and contributions of Sierra Leone’s public servants towards national development and the delivery of quality services to citizens.

Cabinet has also approved the Ministry of Public Administration and Political Affairs as the lead coordinating institution responsible for planning and organising the annual observance. The Ministry will work in collaboration with relevant Ministries, Departments, Agencies, and development partners to ensure the commemoration meets national and international standards.
