Who we are
The UNDP Sierra Leone Country Office is a
valued, trusted and reliable adviser to, and development partner
with, the Government of Sierra Leone and other stakeholders in
national development. As Sierra Leone builds its own development
solutions, UNDP provides ideas for strategic development projects
and capacity building in support of continued efforts to eradicate
pockets of extreme poverty, improve gender equality, reverse the
spread of HIV/AIDS, promote and protect human rights and enhance
environmental management.
Since the end of the
civil conflict in 2002, UNDP has
focused its advocacy and resources on assisting the
Government
and people of Sierra Leone in addressing the fundamental causes as
well as the immediate consequences of the war. Working closely with
the Government, civil society and other UN agencies, UNDP has
shifted its emphasis from short-term stabilization measures to
transformative initiatives that address the origins of the conflict
within the overarching framework of the
Millennium Development
Goals.
Based on the
UN Development Assistance Framework
(UNDAF) for
Sierra Leone, UNDP's operational strategy focuses on three,
inter-linked focus areas:
Poverty Reduction
Peace and
Development
Within each of
these areas, a mix of interventions are underway that balance
immediate needs for rehabilitation and reconstruction with the
longer term objectives of reform and capacity building to assist the
country move to the path of sustainable development.
