After more than a decade marked by a protracted civil war that saw the massive destruction of Sierra Leone’s socioeconomic infrastructure, the erosion of the national human resource base, and the breakdown of the entire system, the country has moved gradually through emergency, transition and to an active development phase.

The Government has made a tremendous effort, in line with the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action (ICPD PoA), to create the enabling environment that has paved the way for UNFPA to continue to provide tailor-made assistance and achieve demonstrable results. In the process, innovative, bold and non-conventional approaches to programming sometimes had to be adopted to achieve the needed results. A selected number of these achievements, which qualified as success stories, have been put together to serve as good practices to be replicated elsewhere and to demonstrate value for money.
