Antecedentes
The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is a process of periodic performance reviews by Africans of African Governments’ efforts towards promoting good governance. Sierra Leone acceded to the APRM in 2004, completed the review process in December 2011 and peer reviewed at the 16th APRM Forum held on 28th January 2012 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The next critical activity after the Peer Review Forum is the implementation of the APRM National Programme of Action (NPOA). The NPOA is central to the APRM being the major output of the review process which brings out the value added elements of the APRM process in the country. The primary purpose of the NPOA is to guide and mobilize the country’s efforts in implementing the necessary changes to improve the state of governance and socio-economic development.
 
Critical to the effective implementation of the NPOA is the preparation of a realistic strategy for its implementation. Given that after the base review, three years has been the ideal time-frame slated for APRM countries to implement their respective NPOA before embarking on a second review, the APRM National Governing Council recommended the development of a three year NPOA Implementation Strategy (2012-2015) in line with existing national development programmes being carried out.
