Appeal E-Mail: Act@Act-Intl.Org 150 route de Ferney, P.O. Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 Appeal e-mail: [email protected] Coordinating Office Sierra Leone Relief & Rehabilitation for War Affected -AFSL-11 Appeal Target: US$ 2,775,791 Balance Requested from ACT Network: US$ 1,968,345 Geneva, 15 February 2001 Dear Colleagues, For nine years the people of Sierra Leone have known no peace and the country is in a state of chronic fragmentation with physical infrastructures and local services destroyed or severely depleted. The rebels still control half the country while government held areas including Freetown and the Southern Province host large numbers of people including thousands if internally displaced (IDPs). The situation in the country has been exacerbated by the recent fighting that broke out in Guinea, along the borders with Sierra Leone and Liberia trapping over 250,000 refugees from Sierra Leone and Liberia in the war zone. The refugees are also under attack from the Guinean population who blame them for the cross border raids. This Guinean crisis has made many refugees return back to Sierra Leone despite the continuing civil war in the country. Thousands have already made it back to Sierra Leone under very difficult and dangerous circumstances. In recent days, the United High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been negotiating with the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) for a safe corridor for the refugees to return to Sierra Leone. The returnees are to be placed in villages in the safe areas around the southern and part of the eastern regions. However, urgent assistance is required to increase the capacity of the villages to absorb these returnees. ACT members in Sierra Leone – Christian Aid, the Council of Churches in Sierra Leone, the Baptist Convention, the Methodist Church and the Wesleyan Church - have been very active in responding to the basic needs of the affected population. This appeal from the ACT members includes the following components: provision of food and non food items, shelter, improvements of water and sanitation facilities, improvements of school and health facilities, provision of seeds and tools and also trauma counselling. It should be mentioned here that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sierra Leone, working with the support of the Lutheran World Federation Department of World Service (LWF/DWS), are currently finalising their program proposals to form part of this appeal. As soon as their proposal has been finalised, the appeal will be revised to include them. The estimated budget for the LWF/DWS programs is US$ 900,000. ACT is a worldwide network of churches and related agencies meeting human need through coordinated emergency response. The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland. Sierra Leone – Relief for War Displaced 2 Sierra Leone AFSL-11.

Rudolf Hinz Director ACT Coordinator Director WCC/Cluster on Relations LWF/World Service Sierra Leone – Relief for War Displaced 3 Sierra Leone AFSL-11. I. REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION ¨ Christian Aid (CA) II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER and PARTNER INFORMATION Description of ACT Member Christian Aid (CA) was established in the mid 1940s and is the official agency of 40 Churches representing most of the denominations in the UK and Ireland. Its humanitarian work began in response to the needs of refugees in Europe and it fulfilled a representational role amongst churches in Europe recovering from the aftermath of the 2nd World War. It currently works in over 60 countries in partnership with local churches and other organisations. In Sierra Leone, Christian Aid is the accompanying agency for ACT. The agency maintains a Liaison Office in Freetown staffed by two expatriate personnel (Programme Accountant and Programme Support Officer) whose tasks are to liase with and support a body of national partners located in different parts of the country. Principal amongst these is the Council of Churches in Sierra Leone (CCSL). For the past three years, Christian Aid has been the accompanying agency for CCSL’s Relief and Rehabilitation Department, to which a Director, jointly recruited by Christian Aid and CCSL, is assigned. Description of ACT Member’s Implementing Partners CCSL, in partnership with ACT International and its accompanying agency Christian Aid, has extensive experience in running emergency programmes for victims of the war in Sierra Leone. This experience includes supporting internally displaced people (IDPs), assisting returnee families to re-establish and rebuild their livelihoods, addressing the needs of especially vulnerable individuals and groups including unaccompanied children (UAC), widows and the disabled, and undertaking peace and reconciliation activities. Historically, CCSL became involved in relief operations in 1990 following an influx of Liberian refugees into the country. A year later, as the military conflict spilled into Sierra Leone, CCSL refocused its work on the needs of IDPs. In 1997, internal restructuring created the Relief and Rehabilitation (R&R) Department with its base in Bo. During the January 1999 crisis, when most INGOs withdrew, the R&R Department was one of the few agencies to continue humanitarian operations. Using their accumulated experience, staff quickly responded to the emergency by setting up IDP camps and distributing food and non-food items. For the past three years, funding for the Department’s relief and rehabilitation work has come through the ACT Appeal and from government sources, the EU and UN agencies including WFP and FAO. CCSL’s R&R Department will implement all the activities detailed in this new relief and rehabilitation proposal for 2001. III. DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION Background War and its devastating effects have afflicted the people and social institutions of Sierra Leone since 1991. What started off as a cross border attack by a small band of Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebel soldiers in the country’s Eastern Province progressively escalated to consume the entire country at one period or another. Over time, the conflict has taken on a sub-regional character with a catalogue of rebel attacks on Guinean territory, sustained reprisals by the Guinean army on positions within Sierra Leonean territory and ‘tit for tat’ confrontations between the Liberian and Guinean military. Evidence of the magnitude of these conflicts is discernible from the fact that there are an estimated 950,000 refugees and over 1.5 million internally displaced persons. Sierra Leone – Relief for War Displaced 4 Sierra Leone AFSL-11. At different stages in this long standing conflict, the Sierra Leone government, in conjunction with regional and international bodies, has sought to broker a peace deal with the RUF. The Abidjan Peace Accord, signed in November 1996, for example, gave the RUF a political role in government and offered an amnesty for any past crimes. Filled with hope, tens of thousands of IDPs returned to their home areas. However, the peace was short lived. In May 1997, a coup brought to power the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) and the RUF, led by Foday Sankoh. The democratically elected government of President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah fled into exile. Following a year of appalling suffering and human rights abuses regional military forces from ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) ejected the military junta and reinstated the Kabbah government on 10 March 1998. Although driven from Freetown, the rebel forces continued to terrorise the rural populations and committed some of their worst atrocities during this period, including amputations, rape and torture. In January 1999, they re-entered Freetown and after some of the fiercest fighting seen in the conflict, were again repulsed by ECOWAS forces leaving behind an estimated 6,000 people dead. But, before they retreated, large parts of the city were razed to the ground and over 3,000 children were abducted. Out of the intense violence of this period was born the seeds of a peace process driven by the people of Sierra Leone, their civil institutions and the international community. The culmination of their efforts was the signing of the Lome Peace Accord on July 6, 1999. In the months that followed, substantial efforts were made (in-country and internationally) to consolidate the peace and achieve national reconciliation. A notable component of the Lome Accord, the DDR (Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration) programme, was instituted and rebel-controlled areas around Makeni opened up to humanitarian aid.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND PERFORMANCE Sierra Leone was at the Center of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa with 8,706 confirmed cases (CDC.gov). In March 2016, WHO declared Sierra Leone free of EVD after 42 days without a reported case. However, there had been two previous declarations and then cases had resurfaced prior to March 2016. The Ebola Treatment Centers (ETC) run by International Organizations closed their doors at the end of December 2015. The final International Medical Corps (IMC) ETC shut its doors at the end of February 2016. Sierra Leone has not had a reported case of EVD since January 2016. Due to this, many resources were pulled out of the EVD response system in Sierra Leone leading to cuts in the support for the rapid response teams (RRT) in the local District Health Management Teams (DHMT). Large gaps were identified in the capacity of local stakeholders to respond to a suspect case of EVD.

  • Jan-Feb 2015 Ebola Orphan Report the STREET CHILD
    The STREET CHILD Ebola Orphan Report Jan-Feb 2015 The STREET CHILD Ebola Orphan Report Jan – Feb 2015 THE STREET CHILD EBOLA ORPHAN REPORT January – February 2015 Statement of Endorsement from the Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children’s Affairs There are so many categories of children who have suffered grievously as a result of this Ebola crisis – my Ministry is highly concerned about all of them. However, it is clear that none have suffered more than those who lost parents and vital caregivers, those they really relied on, to this virus. It is therefore right that we all do everything in our power to assist these children. They must be protected, empowered and educated. My Ministry is determined to see this happen. To this end I warmly welcome and endorse this report from Street Child on their findings arising from their work with Ebola orphans. It is an important contribution to understanding the scale and nature of this issue. I urge all to read it. And then not just to read it but consider carefully how you can then act, in whatever way is possible for you, in support of these children. I would also like to commend our partner, Street Child. It is not an easy job to go to almost every household where Ebola has taken victims in the entire country, in both the towns and remote villages equally. These 12,000+ children are not formed in a neat and easily accessible queue, they have to be found and helped in their disparate own places. Street Child have done an impressive job and on behalf of my Ministry, I would like to thank them.
