Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister. The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation.
