Sierra Leone : Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper-Progress Report

This report describes the progress made in implementing the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper for Sierra Leone covering the period 2005-07. Efforts to reform the public sector were not successful. Management and Functional Reviews were conducted for several ministries, departments, and agencies but the recommendations were not implemented. A Senior Executive Service program was also developed but government and development partners could not agree on an implementation strategy and therefore the funds required for implementation were not provided.
