Chief Executive of the Campaign for Human Rights and Development International (CHRDI), Abdul M. Fatoma, is currently in Spain to participate in the prestigious Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit. The event, co-organised by the Government of Spain and the OGP, has brought together global leaders and advocates committed to promoting transparency, inclusivity and accountability in governance.
As an experienced international advocate for social justice, human rights and the rule of law, Abdul M. Fatoma has long distinguished himself as one of Sierra Leone’s most influential champions of justice. At the summit, he is scheduled to serve on a high-level panel discussion focusing on open justice, a crucial theme in advancing governance reforms worldwide.
The panel also includes a Supreme Court Justice and a Deputy Chief Justice from South Africa, highlighting the high-level nature of the discussions and the critical role of judicial independence in building transparent systems of governance.
Abdul M. Fatoma’s participation not only underscores Sierra Leone’s growing voice in international governance dialogues but also reflects his ongoing dedication to bridging local and global conversations around accountability and reform.
Through his work at CHRDI, he continues to leverage civil society platforms to advocate for progressive social change, strengthen democratic institutions and champion equitable development. His engagement at the OGP Global Summit further reaffirms his commitment to enhancing human rights and promoting transparency, both in Sierra Leone and across the global stage.
