The National Council for Civic Education and Democracy (NaCCED) successfully anchored Sierra Leone's 2026 Open Gov Week celebrations, signaling a powerful shift away from passive data sharing toward active, citizen-led governance. At the forefront of this national milestone was NaCCED Chairman and Open Government Partnership (OGP) Focal Person, Mr. Joseph Munda Bindi, who convened a high-profile roundtable expert panel discussion at the Foreign Service Academy. Guided by the global theme, "A Global Call to transform the way Governments serve their Citizens," Bindi strategically positioned NaCCED as the primary bridge linking state machinery with civil society, steering a critical dialogue on how to move beyond paper commitments and permanently embed openness into daily public service delivery.
