The @_AfricanUnion, and @ecowas_cedeao in collaboration with #GIZ Support to ECOWAS on Peace, Security and Governance (#EPSG) and the Sierra Leone Parliament with support from the UN #SSuRGeTeam, has commenced a 3-day (6–8 October 2026) capacity-building workshop on Strengthening Parliamentary Oversight of the Defence, National Security and Internal Affairs Committees in #Bo, #SierraLeone 🇸🇱. The workshop brings together Members of parliament, parliamentary stakeholders, relevant partners and media outlets to strengthen accountable and democratic security governance. Effective parliamentary oversight is at the heart of democratic security governance. Over the next three days, Sierra Leonean parliamentarians will have an opportunity to exchange experiences, examine practical lessons and strengthen their understanding of security-sector oversight. The focus is not only on knowledge, but on translating continental and regional frameworks into practical national actions.
