Who we are
A member organization of the UNCAC Coalition Africa Anti-Corruption Platform.
Pay No Bribe Animators Sierra Leone (PaNBA S/L) is a social accountability, anti-corruption and development civil society organization established on the 20th of November 2018. By a group of citizens who worked as community Animators for the three-year campaign project, named "Pay No Bribe" — funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) and implemented by the Anti-Corruption Commission of Sierra Leone and its partners — the organization was founded with a focus on curbing corruption and addressing social injustices through legal frameworks, institutional mechanisms and community engagement in the rural communities of Sierra Leone.
We believe corruption is a tool that hinders the development of every country and weakens the fundamental principles and values of democracy, transparency and accountability. PaNBA S/L is registered with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development through the local councils in Bombali and Kono Districts, with offices in both districts.
