Much
of Sierra Leone was devastated by 11 years of brutal war,(officially
ended in 2002) with more than half of the entire population
forced into displacement. In addition, the main sources of economic
prosperity were severely disrupted. As an example, the maternal
mortality rates increased to become the highest in the world,
the school enrollment dropped and the immunization coverage
decline by more than 40%; In UNDP’s annual Human Development
reports for 2000, 2001 and 2002, Sierra Leone was ranked last
out of the over 140 countries listed.

denial of fundamental human rights, economic mismanagement and
social exclusion. UNDP-Sierra Leone, along with its partners –
UN Agencies, UNAMSIL, NGOs, Civil Societies etc, are joining hands
to support the Government and people of Sierra Leone to build
peace, reinforce security, reduce poverty, and foster good governance
etc. (...)
