Institute for Governance Reform

Established in February 2013, the Institute for Governance Reform (IGR) works as a partner with multiple organizations and is committed to providing excellent technical assistance for capacity-building and reliable and timely analysis for public institutions as well as private-sector and non-state organizations with public responsibilities. IGR is Sierra Leone’s leading independent multidisciplinary public policy research and institutional development team. A ‘good governance’ ethos underpins our work, and we have assisted a range of client organizations and communities in their efforts to improve their public services performance. Through operational research and targeted support to agencies, we ‘bridge the gap between knowledge and policy.’ Our long-term vision for Sierra Leone is to have capable institutions implementing policies that promote social cohesion, democratic governance, economic competitiveness and inclusive communities. Our team’s vast knowledge of Sierra Leone and West Africa, and experience within government’s MDAs, donors and civil society, ensures our clients’ access to quality data, timely analysis and excellent results.
