The road, which is of bituminous standard, was constructed about 40 years ago and is now in a deplorable condition having deteriorated, and hence the need for rehabilitation recognised. The beneficiaries of the road rehabilitation include the communities served by the project road who will benefit from the improved access to economic opportunities and social services. Both passenger and freight transport services will benefit from lower vehicle operating costs, time savings, and improved road safety. The cost for the rehabilitation of the Matotoka – Sefadu road is estimated at UA 47.55 million. In consideration of the allocated Bank funding for the project under ADF-12 and FSF pillar I, the implementation of the Matotoka – Sefadu is to be phased as; Section I: Matotoka – Yiye (70 km), estimated to cost UA 28.40 million and Section II: Yiye – Sefadu (50 km),

  • 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.

  • Pauline Oosterhoff, Annie Wilkinson, Esther Yei-Mokuwa Ebola Response Anthropology Platform February 2015
    POLICY BRIEFING ON Community-based Ebola Care Centres AUTHORS: Pauline Oosterhoff, Annie Wilkinson, Esther Yei-Mokuwa Ebola Response Anthropology Platform February 2015 A component of the Ebola epidemic control policy in Sierra Leone is triage and isolation in decentralised Community Care Centres (CCCs) or Holding Units, from where transfer to Ebola treatment units (ETUs) is arranged for those diagnosed as positive. The epidemic is currently waning, there are sufficient beds in the ETU, yet new micro-epidemics emerge, raising questions about the future role and relevance of the CCC. This briefing summarizes the preliminary findings of a formative evaluation conducted by the UK based Ebola Response Anthropology Platform in February 2015 on views of community leaders and residents towards 1) their engagement with the development and management of the CCC and 2) future usages of the CCCs physical structure, equipment and staff. A full data analysis is ongoing. We hope that the views presented here provide various options for the use of the CCCs during the bumpy road to zero. Methods: A Sierra Leonean research team with an appropriate mix of local language skills visited 14 villages in 7 chiefdoms in Port Loko, Kambia, Tonkolili and Kono. Two villages were selected in each chiefdom: one which was hosting the CCC (or closest to it) and one which was in the same chiefdom, so plausibly part of the CCC catchment area. We also conducted interviews with residents in one urban area close to an isolation centre in Maforkie chiefdom in Port Loko. Sites in each chiefdom were selected in consultation with the District Ebola Response Committee (DERC) and Paramount chiefs.

  • Sierra Leone Environment, Conflict and Peacebuilding Assessment Technical Report
    Sierra Leone Environment, Conflict and Peacebuilding Assessment Technical Report United Nations Environment Programme UNEP post-conflict environmental assessments Since 1999, UNEP has operated in more than 34 crisis-affected countries, published 18 environmental assessment reports and, in many cases, implemented in-country follow-up projects. Based on this expertise, UNEP is providing technical assistance to the UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), the European Commission and member states in assessing the role of natural resources and the environment in conflict and peacebuilding. The Sierra Leone Environment, Conflict and Peacebuilding Assessment was completed as part of UNEP’s Environmental Cooperation for Peacebuilding project, which offers technical assistance to Member States and the UN system to sustainably manage natural resources and the environment in ways that contribute to peacebuilding, conflict prevention and transboundary cooperation. Like other UNEP post-conflict assessments, this document is intended to provide practical analysis and recommendations to the Government of Sierra Leone, the UN and international community, and partner organizations regarding natural resources, peace and development.
