Agenda for Prosperity Infrastructure Projects...........................41 3 INTRODUCTION The outbreak of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) put on hold many development projects across the country. The government had started implementing the Agenda for Prosperity (A4P) when the disease struck. A national Ebola recovery strategy (NERS) has recently been concluded and launched, and the government has started its implementation to principally ensure that (i) socioeconomic activities are restored; and (ii) the A4P is put back on track. As a crucial step to help guide the government to take comprehensive stock of development projects (post-Ebola), nationwide monitoring and verification exercise was undertaken from the 1st to 5th December, 2015, to monitor progress on development projects. This exercise was undertaken to determine (i) A4P projects that were stalled during the outbreak of the disease; (ii) the status of those that have been re-started; and (iii) the status of Ebola recovery projects. This exercise was all the more essential, noting that there have been many actors in project implementation, including government MDAs; Local Councils (LCs); Development Partners; NGOs; and CSOs. Knowing who was doing what and where was important for this exercise. Six areas, as prioritised in the recovery strategy, were covered in the exercise health; education; social protection; private sector development, including agricultural services; water and sanitation; and energy. The exercise was undertaken by 7 teams of different sizes comprising staff from MOFED, other MDAs, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), District Development Planning Officers (DDPOs) and District Budget Oversight Committee Members (DBOCs). Each team was given responsibility of monitoring a sample of on-going development projects captured in the Agenda for Prosperity and Ebola Recovery Strategy. Each team covered two districts, with all 7 supervised by three senior staff of MOFED. The teams were supported in the field by local administrators, including staff of the district councils. A range of data was collected on each project. This included information on project profile, including source of project funding; implementing agencies; and project location, coverage and total cost. Information was collected on progress of project implementation, focusing on determining whether projects examined had been stalled during the EVD outbreak; and if stalled, whether had resumed operations. Challenges facing project implementation were documented, as well as lessons learned; and recommendations were suggested for improvement of operations. The teams collected information on a total of 105 projects.

  • Baseline for Democracy and Governance Project, Search For
    Baseline for Democracy and Governance Project Search for Common Ground Background Over the next three-year period, Sierra Leone must capitalize on the opportunities provided by the end of the civil conflict to ensure a peaceful transition into a long-term development phase. These opportunities include: • the discourse of public participation and dialogue • tolerance for openness and freedom of the press • implementation of a decentralization policy and structural reforms. Media tolerance and diversification is central to a wider and broader range of available public information. A viable and functioning public information network supports deeper analysis on issues and the mobilization of the population for engagement in governance processes, including local and national elections, anti-corruption initiatives, and budgetary monitoring, among others. Search for Common Ground in Sierra Leone (SFCG) with the support of the United States Agency for International Development through cooperative agreement 636-A-00-05-00040 is supporting these transformation processes over the next three to five years. Capitalizing on new entry points created by governance reform and decentralization, SFCG, using its trusted media tools integrated with community outreach, will support the creation of demand for good governance and accountable leadership through participation, engagement and good citizenship. SFCG’s overarching goal for its democracy and governance project is to: Strengthen democratic governance in the districts of Kono, Kailahun, and Koinadugu, and Tongo Fields in Sierra Leone, which supports Special Objective #2 (SO2) under USAID/Sierra Leone’s Transition Strategy Phase 2, (FY 2004-2006). SFCG’s program objective is to: Stimulate an active citizenry. This supports Intermediate Result (IR) 2.2: “Citizens, local government, and CSOs better informed on democratic governance” of SO2.
