The Citizen’s Manifesto and Citizens’ Commitments

This week we continue last week’s discussion with IGR’s Governance Officer, Emmanuella Sandy, to further build on our previous episode that discussed the demands of citizens as it relates to citizen policy priorities within the context of the Citizen’s Manifesto (CM). The CM was first introduced in 2018 as a way to identify citizen policy priorities and the desires of citizens that should be taken on board by political parties. However, it was recognized within the context of the 2018 CM that it takes both the state and citizens to co-create solutions to what society is seeking. In this week we discuss what are the commitments of citizens in Sierra Leone. How many commitments are there, and what do they look like, especially at the district level? Citizens themselves have agency and have a key role to play in the development of Sierra Leone. The objective of the CM is to shape party priorities and manifestos going forward.
