Sierra Leone


The Challenge

Rebuilding a nation to embrace good governance and promote democratic values, peace, security and economic growth across all levels of society is the challenge facing the Government of Sierra Leone (GOSL) and the international donor community. The GOSL, with international support, has demonstrated its commitment to rebuilding the nation by adopting a three-year roadmap contained in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). However, corruption, abuse of power and disrespect for human rights are still rampant. Most youth and women are unemployed and marginalized. Sound management practices for generating national revenues to improve security and economic growth are absent. Most Sierra Leoneans believe the root causes that led to the violent civil war have not been adequately tackled.
