Analysing Stakeholder Participation and Policy Responsiveness in Sierra Leone's Educational System
By Conteh Joseph S., et al.This review article explores stakeholder participation and policy responsiveness within Sierra Leone's educational system. Drawing on recent literature, government reports, and international assessments, this study critically evaluates the current levels of stakeholder involvement in policy formulation and implementation. The review highlights mechanisms for stakeholder feedback and dialogue and proposes strategies to enhance engagement to improve policy outcomes. The findings suggest that although some mechanisms exist, significant gaps remain in inclusivity, responsiveness, and sustainability. Strengthening institutional frameworks, promoting inclusive dialogue, and ensuring continuous feedback loops are essential to advancing educational reform in Sierra Leone.
