  • The Governance of Artisanal Fisheries in the Sherbro River Area of Sierra Leone
    The Governance of Artisanal Fisheries in the Sherbro River Area of Sierra Leone This project is funded by A report by The European Union Environmental Justice Foundation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY © EJF This report sets out the historic and existing governance arrangements for artisanal fishing in the Sherbro River Estuary (hereafter ‘the Estuary’), where fishing is vital to the livelihoods and food security of local communities. It uses research from 17 community visits and interviews of key stakeholders to analyse current and historic conditions at the levels of local communities, traditional authorities, local government and central government. Four key findings and recommendations are summarised below: 1. FINDING: After seven years of decentralisation, local councils are not perceived to be effective at fisheries management: The clearest consensus in the area of governance to arise during the community engagement process regarded the perceived ineffectiveness of local councils. Even within the councils themselves, there was widespread agreement that they did not currently have the capacity to assume their statutory duties in the area of fisheries management. More broadly, fishing communities across the Estuary did not identify closely with the councils or their elected representatives. RECOMMENDATION: For councils to become effective in the area of fisheries management, they must not only build technical capacity in the fisheries sector but also improve their overall legitimacy as representative and accountable democratic institutions. This can be done in part through increasing contact with elected officials and pooling the regulatory resources of the Estuary’s two councils. The Government and partner NGOs must address this as part of the development of an MPA and associated co-management bodies.

  • Restoring Food Security to Flood-Affected Families in Sierra Leone
    RESTORING FOOD SECURITY TO FLOOD-AFFECTED FAMILIES IN SIERRA LEONE After heavy and above-average rains fell in September 2015 in the Southern Province and Western Area, an estimated 22 000 people were affected and thousands of hectares of land were destroyed. The worst of the damage occurred in Bo, Bonthe and Pujehun districts. Because many households in Sierra Leone depend on agriculture for their food and income, the loss of crops and seeds devastated the food and nutrition security of farmers in these areas, who were already at the peak of the lean season. This project was implemented to immediately improve ©FAO Sierra Leone household food security while allowing farmers to restart agricultural production during the main growing season. WHAT DID THE PROJECT DO?

  • The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone
    The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone Tristan Reed1 James A. Robinson2 July 15, 2013 1Harvard University, Department of Economics, Littauer Center, 1805 Cambridge Street, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. 2Harvard University, Department of Government, IQSS, 1737 Cambridge Street., N309, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract1 In this manuscript, a companion to Acemoglu, Reed and Robinson (2013), we provide a detailed history of Paramount Chieftaincies of Sierra Leone. British colonialism transformed society in the country in 1896 by empowering a set of Paramount Chiefs as the sole authority of local government in the newly created Sierra Leone Protectorate. Only individuals from the designated \ruling families" of a chieftaincy are eligible to become Paramount Chiefs. In 2011, we conducted a survey in of \encyclopedias" (the name given in Sierra Leone to elders who preserve the oral history of the chieftaincy) and the elders in all of the ruling families of all 149 chieftaincies. Contemporary chiefs are current up to May 2011. We used the survey to re- construct the history of the chieftaincy, and each family for as far back as our informants could recall. We then used archives of the Sierra Leone National Archive at Fourah Bay College, as well as Provincial Secretary archives in Kenema, the National Archives in London and available secondary sources to cross-check the results of our survey whenever possible. We are the first to our knowledge to have constructed a comprehensive history of the chieftaincy in Sierra Leone. 1Oral history surveys were conducted by Mohammed C. Bah, Alimamy Bangura, Alieu K.
