Financé par le Banque Mondiale, le projet "Gouvernance et Responsabilité du secteur public", s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un vaste programme de réforme enclenché par le gouvernement guinéen au lendemain des élections présidentielles de 2010. L’objectif principal du projet est de renforcer le leadership du Gouvernement et sa capacité stratégique à mener les réformes cruciales en gestion de Finances Publiques et des Ressources Humaines et à améliorer les services publics en impliquant la société civile dans ce processus. La composante 2 du projet, dont la mise en oeuvre est confiée à SFCG, vise le renforcement des capacités de la société civile à s’impliquer dans les programmes de réformes initiés par gouvernement.
