Teaching and learning outcomes, the status and conditions of the education sector workforce, and education leadership and management at schools are all in dire states at national level. Any specific policy interventions to address these challenges require reliable, verified and clean education sector data. The Directorate for Planning and Policy at the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education has the responsibility to provide the leadership and support for Government and its partners related to the Annual School Census. The scope of the Annual School Census (ASC) is broad and it includes collection, compilation, analyses and dissemination of data related to schools, infrastructure, management and learning outcomes. These analyses further inform the national understanding of trends in numeracy, literacy, retention, transition and multi-level performance. In 2018, the Ministry transitioned to a comprehensive digital data collection process using technology (smart phones and tablets) to conduct the Annual School Census. This methodology accelerated the data collection process and allowed for the mapping of school locations using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates; taking inside and outside classroom pictures of schools and educational facilities; photographs of Teachers and other facilities including the Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WaSH), and furniture. While there has been a drastic change in how data are collected, processed and used over the last several years, 2019 was a critical year for the Ministry and the Government. In 2019, deeper collaboration with other partners including the Directorate of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) led to the availability of the 2018 cleaned data to citizens and partners on the Education Data Hub (www.educationdatahub.dsti.gov.sl). It took the Ministry a much shorter time to clean the 2019 data, share with partners and use it for national

  • Preliminary Statement
    European Union Election Observation Mission Sierra Leone Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Council Elections 2018 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Election day went smoothly but the entire process was overshadowed by tensions and political attacks on the electoral commission Freetown, 3 April 2018 Summary This Preliminary Statement is delivered prior to the completion of the election process. It should be read in conjunction with the EU EOM Preliminary Statement issued on 9 March 2018. The final assessment of the elections will depend in part on the conduct of the remaining stages of the election process, in particular, the tabulation of results, and the handling of possible post-election day complaints and appeals. The EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) remains in country to observe post-election developments and will publish a Final Report, containing detailed recommendations, within two months of the conclusion of the electoral process. The run-off election took place on 31 March between the two candidates who received the most votes in the presidential election of 7 March 2018 - retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) who gained 43.3% in the first-round, and Dr Samura Kamara of the incumbent All People’s Congress (APC) with 42.7%. Together with the vice presidential running mates, all four candidates are men. • The main institution administering the election, the National Electoral Commission (NEC) proved its genuine commitment to a transparent and inclusive election, a vital component of democratic consolidation. Contesting candidates and political parties however remained more ambiguous, publicly calling for peace but also fuelling a divisive discourse and unwarranted attacks and demands on the NEC.

    STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT 1 GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS DELIVERED BY HIS EXCELLENCY, BRIG (Retd) DR. JULIUS MAADA BIO, GCRSL, President of The Republic and Commander-In-Chief of the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces On the Occasion of the State Opening of the Third Session of the Fifth Parliament of the Second Republic of Sierra Leone In the Chamber of Parliament Building Tower Hill, Freetown On Thursday, 28th May 2020 At 10:00am STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT 2 Mr. Speaker. Honourable Vice President. Honourable Chief Justice, Ministers of Government, Honourable Members of Parliament Your Worship, The Mayor of the Municipality of Freetown The First Lady, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, As we assemble in this Great Hall that symbolizes our unity in diversity, I would ask that we rise and observe a moment of silence for our compatriots and all other citizens of the global community who have succumbed to the COVID-19 Pandemic. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God/Allah rest in peace. Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of Parliament, today’s event is taking place in a sombre atmosphere. It is observed amidst the ravages of COVID-19, not only in Sierra Leone but also the world over. That notwithstanding, I am confident that like the trials of our immediate past, this period provides yet another opportunity for all Sierra Leoneans, irrespective of religion, ethnicity and region of origin to come together for the sake of our common destiny and for the sake of humanity. While it is my prayer and hope that together with the global community, we shall combat and eliminate this global pandemic, it is equally my prayer and hope that the opportunity created for, and by our coming together will engender us to build a Sierra Leone that works for all of us.

  • 2021 VNR REPORT on Sdgs in SIERRA LEONE
    UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS -------- THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2021 VNR REPORT ON SDGs IN SIERRA LEONE GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ----------- JUNE 2021 Foreword Despite the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sierra Leone has been able to prepare its third Voluntary National Review (VNR) report for presentation at the 2021 High-Level Political Forum on the SDGs. We will be among the countries presenting progress report on these UN Goals the highest number of times, which demonstrates our Government’s sustained commitment to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We have continued to follow a strategic approach to implementing the SDGs, as we remain steadfast in upholding two of the 17 Goals as our accelerators that are deemed cardinal in the transformation of our economy and building long-term resilience for sustainable development. The two accelerators are: SDG 4 (inclusive education) and SDG16 (justice, peace and inclusive society) which are also key in the process of advancing the achievement of other SDGs. The report also covers nine other priority goals for 2021, namely: Goal 1 (ending poverty), 2 (zero hunger), 3 (health), 5 (gender), 8 (decent work), 10 (inequality), 12 (responsible consumption and production), 13 (climate change) and 17 (means of implementation). With the full participation of stakeholders, we successfully generated large data set from nationwide consultations on the 11 Goals, leading to a comprehensive report that was validated by all the institutions involved in the process, including government ministries, departments and agencies; parliament, local councils, civil society organisations including those for persons with disabilities; and the private sector, the media, research institutions and development partners.

  • 2017 Constituency Boundary Delimitation Report, Vol. 2
    NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION Republic of Sierra Leone Constituency Boundary Delimitation Report Volume 2 August, 2017 Foreword The National Electoral Commission (NEC) is submitting this report on the delimitation of constituency and ward boundaries in adherence to its constitutional mandate to delimit electoral constituency and ward boundaries, to be done “not less than five years and not more than seven years”; and complying with the timeline as stipulated in the NEC Electoral Calendar (2015-2019). The report is subject to Parliamentary approval, as enshrined in the 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone (Act No 6 of 1991); which inter alia states delimitation of electoral boundaries to be done by NEC, while Section 38 (1) empowers the Commission to divide the country into constituencies for the purpose of electing Members of Parliament (MPs) using Single Member First- Past –the Post (FPTP) system. The Local Government Act of 2004, Part 1 –preliminary, assigns the task of drawing wards to NEC; while the Public Elections Act, 2012 (Section 14, sub-sections 1 &2) forms the legal basis for the allocation of council seats and delimitation of wards in Sierra Leone. The Commission appreciates the level of technical assistance, collaboration and cooperation it received from Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL), the Boundary Delimitation Technical Committee (BDTC), the Boundary Delimitation Monitoring Committee (BDMC), donor partners, line Ministries, Departments and Agencies and other key actors in the boundary delimitation exercise. The hiring of a Consultant, Dr Lisa Handley, an internationally renowned Boundary delimitation expert, added credence and credibility to the process as she provided professional advice which assisted in maintaining international standards and best practices.
