Sierra Leone - Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Governance Reform and Growth Grant Projects

The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Governance Reform and Growth Grant Projects of Sierra Leone had a moderately satisfactory outcome. The program's development objective was to improve the allocation and efficiency of public spending to support poverty reduction, to strengthen domestic resource mobilization and management, and to increase public sector reforms. Lessons learned include: as there are limits to harmonization beyond which diminishing returns set in, it should be practiced pragmatically, engagement of Ministries beyond the central agencies of Government requires a strong mechanism at the center to ensure effective implementation and in a country short of management capacity, a detailed M&E framework is not likely to be sustainable.
