About Us

Overview

The Public Sector Reform Unit (PSRU) plays a central role in steering the modernization of Sierra Leone’s public service. As the Government’s lead institution for reform coordination, technical backstopping and strategic advisory support, PSRU works across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to strengthen governance systems, improve service delivery and promote a professional, efficient and citizen-focused public sector.

Historical Background

In January 2008, the then Governance Reform Secretariat was transformed into the Public Sector Reform Unit (PSRU), charged with the responsibility of providing leadership, coordination and strategic guidance in the design, implementation and monitoring of all Public Sector Reform Programmes. PSRU pursued its objective of strengthening management and administrative structures, systems and processes in the public service, by using a targeted joined-up approach to reform and consolidating the activities within the various reform components into streamlined and organized pathways. PSRU also provides technical backstopping to MDAs and strengthening engagement with the other policy environments within the public service such as Local Government, Security sector, Health sector, Teaching services and Parliament etc.
