The Government of Sierra Leone’s Justice Sector Reform Strategy (2024 -2030) builds upon the achievement of the Justice Sector Reform Strategy and Investment Plan IV (JSRSIP 2018-2023). It gives direction to the sector within the period specified, which is geared towards supporting the country’s aspirations of increasing access to justice and safeguarding the rule of law. The Strategic Plan is aligned with the country’s National Medium-Term Development Plan 2024 – 2030 and commitments made in the New Direction Manifesto of 2023-2028. It seeks to consolidate gains made in improving access to justice in the last five years of the current Government, accelerate transformation, aspire to advance the rule of law and promote justice and human rights.
The Justice Sector Reform plan is influenced by the strategic objective in Enabler 2-
“Inclusive and Accountable Institutions” in the country’s Medium-Term National Development Plan (2024-2030) which seeks to “ensure that all citizens benefit from a fair, impartial, and effective justice sector through enabling increased access to justice, expedition of justice, protection of human rights, and equal opportunities for economic
development.”
