Using the indicators of education, employment, inter-marriage, social stigma, and crime, this thesis argues that the long-term social, economic, and political reintegration of Sierra Leone’s ex- combatants has been widely successful. This research then identifies the initiatives of pre- existing civil society organizations (CSOs) in the form of mosques, churches, and the Inter- Religious Council of Sierra Leone as the primary facilitators of this success. -

The Political Economy of Democratic Decentralisation in Post-War Sierra Leone (2004 – 2014) Idrissa Mamoud Tarawallie Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Development Studies SOAS – University of London February 2017 1 Abstract On account of the many failures of the centralised state, decentralisation has become the preferred mode of governance in many countries in the developing world. Widely supported by international development agencies, it promises efficiency and equity in public service delivery and social cohesion in post-war societies by bringing government closer to the people. Crucial in the decentralisation promise, is resource diversion through clientelistic networks at the local level to consolidate political strongholds. -

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. -
