The Connection between Good Governance and Record Keeping: The Sierra Leone Experience

Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between good governance and proper record keeping for sustainable development in Sierra Leone. Both good governance and proper record keeping are viewed as pillars of development and as promoting democracy in Sierra Leone. The article discusses the link between good governance and proper record keeping, the state of record keeping in the country and the need for the provision of a public or national records management policy framework if records are to be used as the basis to promote good governance. The article ends with a call on government functionaries and stakeholders in records management to reflect and act so that democratic values like trust, accountability, probity and transparency might be maintained.
