Too often, we blame APC and SLPP leaders for all of Sierra Leone’s problems failing to recognize where we go wrong citizens. But leaders too have their views about we followers. This short compelling video, pieces together the voices and views of HE Fatima Bio & David Sengeh of SLPP, together with J. Kamara (JFK), I. Bangura (DIB), Hon C. Bah. (Chericoco), S.Kamara (Jagaban) and Mayor Aki-Sawyerr, all of APC, on the positives and negatives about Sierra Leone citizens. Credit to ROOTS Movement.

Like citizens everywhere, Sierra Leoneans can make better decisions when they have the right information. The Salone Development Score Card was created to do just that -to put information in the hands of citizens by providing independent, evidence-based information on the performance of government against 100 national development commitments. This short video explains the methodology applied to measure each development target, how the targets are rated and how citizens can engage with the platform.
