Ministry of Planning and Economic Development Suspends 7 NGOs Over Regulatory Violations

The Ministry of Planning and Economic Development has ordered the immediate suspension of seven non-governmental organisations for failing to meet the statutory requirements governing their operations in Sierra Leone.

The directive, issued on Monday, follows a comprehensive review of the NGO operational landscape, which revealed that certain organisations were functioning without complying with the established policy framework. Among the key infractions cited was the failure to maintain an identifiable office within the country, a fundamental prerequisite for registration and continued operation.
