The DACDF was set up by the government of Sierra Leone in the year 2001. Since that time every year the government puts some money into the fund for distribution among diamond mining chiefdoms in the country. Government of Sierra Leone Sets up D.A.C.D. Fund Le. Government of Sierra Leone sets up the DACDF Why did government introduce the Diamond Area Community Development Fund? There are several reasons for which the government introduced the DACDF, but the most important ones are: (1) After the civil war, government thought it necessary to give back some of the money it gets from the sale of diamonds to chiefdoms in the country where diamonds are mined so that these chiefdoms will use that money to carry out development projects in their towns and villages. (2) Government also wanted to encourage the chiefs and other local leaders in mining chiefdoms in the country to help reduce, or put stop to bad mining practices like diamond smuggling, mining without license, and other forms of illegal mining. Does government give the DACDF money to districts or chiefdoms that do not have diamonds? No. As the name goes “Diamond Area Community Development Fund”.

  • 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.
