She also spoke about the role played by the Ministry of Finance in helping to launch the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Governance study last year, which examined the ERM implementation in six Commonwealth countries namely: Sierra Leone, Botswana, Ghana, The Gambia, Kenya and Eswatini. Baroness Scotland highlighted various policy areas where the Commonwealth could deepen its cooperation with Sierra Leone, especially in managing public debt, human resource capacity building, data analytics and creating better trade opportunities. Minister of Finance, Dennis Vandi highlighted the achievements of his ministry in working with the Commonwealth. Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Dr. Francis Kai-Kai thanked the Commonwealth Secretariat for their support in providing the necessary expertise in areas that are critical to the development of the country. Minister Kai-Kai recommended that the Commonwealth Secretariat re-establishes the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation (CFTC) to improve its visibility, as well as coordination of all commonwealth assistance support. He assured the Secretary-General that Sierra Leone, under the leadership of President Bio will continue to uphold and promote the values and principles of the Commonwealth, which provide a platform and an avenue in presenting a common front in dealing with the global challenges on climate change, peace, security, inequality and exclusion among others.
