It is always good to have some insights into our endemic problems. Momodu Sesay A terrific piece of work and I wish to congratulate you for doing a marvellous job. Serrie Kamara, Ph.D. Your policy papers on Sierra Leone are very thorough and well researched. Thanks for your papers. You are a great educator. Brima Michael Turay A very insightful and realistic work. Engr. Pierre Lightfoot-Boston A well written [anthology of essays] and I am not the least in doubt of what you can do as I know somewhere there is still some bigger "mental bomb" waiting to explode in your make up. Mohamed Boye Jallo-Jamboria While there is a longing for development ideas and leadership education in Sierra Leone, there is a dearth in relevant texts on the subject. Moreover, a generation of flawed policies and poor governance has hampered understanding of the cultural, social and economic influences on management of the weakening institutions of Sierra Leone. This book thus provides an invaluable empirical plinth for advancing development knowledge and social innovation and change in Sierra Leone. Arising from an interest in pursuing research and scholarship in policy development, Sierra Leone Policy Papers is an anthology of researched essays of forecasts, trends, and ideas about government in Sierra Leone. It combines analysis, theory, and political trends to explore the influences on leadership and institutional performance in Sierra Leone and attempts to push the boundaries of development policy. In doing so, it explores how much can be learned from examining Sierra Leone's leadership and management challenges towards realizing the potential of a Sierra Leonean regeneration, and to discerning what the global community may learn from Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone Policy Papers is much-needed scholarship of the political and leadership dynamics of Sierra Leone that should be appreciated by public officials, as well as researchers and policy makers in the international development community.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, language: English, abstract: This comprehensive paper delves into Sierra Leone's resolute pursuit of fiscal sustainability and long-term economic prosperity, focusing on the instrumental role of strategic public investments in vital sectors such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The study sets out to explore Sierra Leone's multifaceted journey, emphasizing the importance of responsible fiscal management and prudent investment policies to secure a brighter future for its citizens. Within this ambitious pursuit of fiscal sustainability, the study sheds light on the multifaceted challenges faced by Sierra Leone in navigating the complex landscape of public investments. These challenges encompass historical legacies of conflict and instability, capacity constraints in government institutions, and external economic factors, all of which necessitate a comprehensive approach for effective resolution. At the heart of this journey lies the imperative of fiscal sustainability, underscoring the critical role of responsible financial management and prudent fiscal policies in safeguarding the nation's long-term economic stability and development. The paper also delves into Sierra Leone's Public Investment Management Strategy (PIMS), a foundational framework designed to ensure the efficient allocation of public funds for investment purposes. This comprehensive strategy not only optimizes resource allocation but also promotes transparency, efficiency, and accountability in Sierra Leone's financial management. It empowers the government to align public investments with the nation's broader development goals, bolstering economic growth, reducing poverty, and improving essential public services. To construct this narrative, a qualitative research approach was employed. Qualitative data emerged from a comprehensive literature review, policy document analysis, and interviews with key stakehold

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the Fourth Review for Sierra Leone under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility. Program performance in the second half of 2008 was mixed. Although economic activity slowed in the last quarter, real GDP grew at an estimated 5.5 percent for the year. A key challenge is to mobilize more domestic revenue by strengthening tax administration and broadening the tax base. The authorities are also moving to make the National Revenue Authority more efficient and raise taxpayer compliance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses Sierra Leone’s 2019 Article IV Consultation, Second Review Under the Extended Credit Facility Arrangement, Request for a Waiver of Nonobservance of Performance Criterion. Sierra Leone continued to make good progress under the IMF-supported program. While the program’s medium-term goals remain appropriate to enable future growth and development, the dramatic onset of the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic poses significant near-term risks. Combating the economic fallout of the crisis and protecting the health of Sierra Leoneans should be the immediate priority. The authorities’ cautious fiscal policy has been important. They have made commendable progress in mobilizing domestic revenue and prudent execution of budgeted expenditures. This has stabilized domestic borrowing needs and allowed inflation pressures to ease. Managing fiscal risks and securing debt sustainability remain the medium-term priority. Continued revenue mobilization will require both tax administration and policy reforms. Deeper public financial management reforms will further improve budget planning and execution, including preventing new arrears. A strategic plan for the two state-owned banks will be instrumental in addressing underlying fiscal risks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escaping Stigma and Neglect: People with Disabilities in Sierra Leone is part of the World Bank Working Paper series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion. Many people with disabilities in Sierra Leone are caught in a cycle of poverty and are disadvantaged in their access to social services-healthcare, education, and social protection services-and economic opportunities. Often, disabled people are marginalized and their rights have been ignored. The government of Sierra Leone is working to improve the social and economic situation of people with disabilities. The objective of this study is to diagnose the scale and nature of the problems people with disabilities in Sierra Leone face, analyze the legal and institutional framework and current public policies affecting people with disabilities, review public and private programs, and propose policies and program options to policy makers and development partners. This study is addressed to policy makers and practitioners inside Sierra Leone as well as those interested in the situation of people with disabilities from an international perspective. This World Bank Working Paper series is also available by subscription to the World Bank e-Library (www.worldbank.org/newelibrary). Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A predominantly agrarian country where land is one of the most important productive assets, land reform remains one of the most important but contentious policy issues in Sierra Leone. Despite several failed attempts to reform the country's current land property rights and administrative arrangements, an assessment of these failed policy formulation policy processes have not been undertaken. In this paper, we use data collected during an elite network survey conducted in Sierra Leone in 2018 to quantitatively evaluate the recent land reform policy efforts that culminated into the 2015 National Land Policy. Specifically, we combine a belief formation model and a legislative decision-making model to quantify the knowledge-based power of the various stakeholders within the policy formulation process and the extent to which this power influences the policy beliefs of policy makers and other key stakeholders in the process formulation process. Our results indicate that the main policy beliefs, as it relates to reform or maintaining the current status quo, do not significantly change as a result of the exchange of expert information. This is because key stakeholders largely rely on their own control and only update their policy beliefs to a very limited extent after communications. Our results also indicate that the policy network structure in Sierra Leone facilitates consensus building, a process that might lead to increased ownership of policy programs by local stakeholders.
