Implementation of Corruption Mitigation Strategies by Public Sector Leadership in Sierra Leone

Corruption impacts the daily lives of people. In Africa, leaders share blame for persistent corruption despite various strategies used to fight it. Sierra Leone has struggled to implement corruption mitigation strategies, and few studies have been conducted there about implementing corruption mitigation strategies. This qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was conducted to identify and report on those lived experiences. Two conceptual lenses of corruption, microlevel, and macrolevel agencies helped to elucidate implementation of corruption mitigation strategies in this study. The two most endorsed challenges were allegiances and influence peddling, and the two most endorsed accomplishments were stakeholder support, policies, and programs.
