  • Goal - Surveillance.Pdf (English)
    EBOLA RESPONSE LESSONS LEARNED SERIES Two market women are screened for Ebola as they take their goods across the border between Guinea and neighbouring Kambia district in Sierra Leone. Photo by GOAL SURVEILLANCE GOAL’s surveillance activities began in Port Loko district in January 2015 and FACT FILE expanded to Kambia district in March 2015. The programme includes support to case investigation teams who investigate all sick and death alerts across the Project: Surveillance two districts in order to establish an Ebola transmission link or otherwise. GOAL Duration: January 2015 – began supporting contact tracing activities in April 2015, which involve twice- ongoing daily health screening of known Ebola contacts and patients discharged Ebola Location: Port Loko, Kambia Donor: DFID through Ebola negative from an Ebola Treatment Centre (ETC) for 21 days. Response Consortium INTRODUCTION Since GOAL began surveillance and contact tracing activities, the quality and efficiency of case investigation has rapidly increased, providing the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and District Health Management Team with the information they need for effectively understanding the Ebola transmission chains in Port Loko and Kambia Districts. There has been a drastic improvement in the percentage of new cases that had already been identified as Ebola contacts before becoming symtomatic. When GOAL started surveillance activities in January, only 15-20 percent of all new Ebola cases had been ‘line listed’. This figure improved to almost 100 percent for both districts, meaning that almost every new Ebola case was anticipated and either quarantined or monitored daily. Additionally, the quality of monitoring of all known Ebola contacts and ETC negative discharges has seen major improvements in Port Loko.

  • Human Rights Chronology: 1991-1997
    QUESTION AND ANSWER SERIES SIERRA LEONE POLITICAL, MILITARY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS CHRONOLOGY: 1991-1997 [QA/SLE/98.001] APRIL 1998 PRODUCED BY: INS RESOURCE INFORMATION CENTER 425 I STREET, N.W. (ULLICO BUILDING, 3RD FLOOR) WASHINGTON, D.C. 20536 DISCLAIMER The July 27, 1990 Regulations, “Aliens and Nationality: Asylum and Withholding of Deportation Procedures,” mandated the creation of a new corps of Asylum Officers to provide an initial, nonadversarial adjudication of asylum claims. Asylum Officers use asylum law, interviews with asylum applicants, and relevant information on country conditions to determine the merits of individual claims for asylum. As specified in the Regulations (8 CFR 208.12), as amended, such information may be obtained from “the Department of State, the Office of International Affairs, other Service offices, or other credible sources, such as international organizations, private voluntary agencies, news organizations, or academic institutions.” Question and Answer Series papers are one means by which information on human rights conditions in a country and/or conditions affecting given groups or individuals deemed “at risk” within a given country is presented to Asylum and Immigration Officers. Question and Answer Series papers are brief descriptions of conditions in countries based on information provided by the sources referred to above. They are prepared by expert consultants and/or the staff of the Resource Information Center, Immigration and Naturalization Service, U.S. Department of Justice. Question and Answer papers cannot be, and do not purport to be either exhaustive with regard to the country surveyed, or conclusive as to the merits of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.

  • Sierra Leone
    Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 SIERRA LEONE Overall risk level High Reconsider travel Can be dangerous and may present unexpected security risks Travel is possible, but there is a potential for disruptions Overview Upcoming Events There are no upcoming events scheduled Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 / Sierra Leone 2 Travel Advisories Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 / Sierra Leone 3 Summary Sierra Leone is a High Risk destination: reconsider travel. High Risk locations can be dangerous and may present unexpected security risks. Travel is possible, but there is a potential for severe or widespread disruptions. Covid-19 Medium Risk The country is currently battling a dramatic rise in infections and deaths related to the virus, particularly in western areas and Freetown. Authorities re-imposed some measures from amid a third wave of infections, remaining in place through August. Political Instability Medium Risk Sierra Leone is increasingly stable following a devastating civil war from 1991-2002. Democratic elections were held in 2018 with an 84.6 percent turn out. However, state institutions remain weak, and social integration is still strongly influenced by the rehabilitation of fighters from the civil war. Conflict Medium Risk The army has been rebuilt with considerable military aid from the United Kingdom and now sends peacekeepers to serve in United Nations missions around the world. Insecurity persists along the country's porous borders with Liberia and Guinea, where government control is weak and remnants of Liberian and Sierra Leonean militias remain active. Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 / Sierra Leone 4 Terrorism Moderate Risk Following the March 2016 al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) attack in Côte d'Ivoire, the militant group vowed to retaliate against France and its allies operating in northern Mali.

  • 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.

    Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security The Republic of Sierra Leone The Agricultural Development Project in Kambia in the Republic of Sierra Leone Final Report Agricultural Technical Support Guidelines Part I Main Report March 2009 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY RECS International Inc. Preface In response to the request from the Government of the Republic of Sierra Leone, the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Agricultural Development Project in Kambia in the Republic of Sierra Leone. The execution of the Project was entrusted to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected the Project Team headed by Dr. Tetsuo Mizobe of RECS International Inc. consisting of experts in the respective fields. The Project Team was dispatched to the Republic of Sierra Leone for a series of fieldworks from March 2006 through January 2009. The Project Team held discussions with the officials concerned of the related Government offices and organizations in close collaboration with the farmers in Kambia district, the target area. The Project Team also conducted pilot projects, trial cultivation and surveys. On returning to Japan, the Project Team, through the final work in Japan, set to compiling the present Final Report based on the results of the entire project works and, has hereby completed it.
