About Us

Accountability Alert Sierra Leone (AASL) is a non-partisan, independent and registered NGO with a mission to strengthen accountability within the development and NGO community in Sierra Leone. This mission was conceived in 2007, but became operational in November of 2009.

The initiative was founded by a group of professionals working in Sierra Leone and abroad, with extensive experience of community development programmes through work in NGOs, the UN Agencies, the Government and Donor Institutions. This is a Team that has first-hand experience of the internal workings of NGOs and their impact on beneficiaries. We have a detailed knowledge of problems affecting the sector, and a sense of responsibility which drives it to work with others to find solutions.

The Team has enthusiasm, energy and the experience required to face the challenges and lead efforts to restore confidence and trust in NGOs and their invaluable role in the country’s development.
