The government of Sierra Leone has publicly committed to implement the FiTI.
A public commitment demonstrates a sincere intention of the country’s government to increase transparency in fisheries management through the FiTI. However, the commitment should not be misinterpreted as official acceptance into the initiative. Only when such a commitment is followed by concrete implementation activities (such as the establishment of a FiTI National Multi-Stakeholder Group or the agreement on the country’s first FiTI workplan) and the subsequent approval of the country’s Candidate Application by the FiTI International Board will Sierra Leone be formally recognised as an FiTI implementing country.
Since March 2024, the FiTI is collaborating with stakeholders in Sierra Leone (government, business, civil society) to raise awareness about the importance of transparency for the country’s marine fisheries sector.
