Background on Sierra Leone Peace building Fund (PBF)

In its country specific meeting of 12 October 2006, the Peace building Commission formally declared Sierra Leone as eligible to receive support from the PBF. This declaration set into motion the allocation and disbursement process described in the Terms of Reference of the PBF.

The Peace building Commission recommended, in December 2006, that an allocation of at least US$ 25 million be granted to Sierra Leone in support of its peace-building programme. The Priority Plan was subsequently finalized by the Government of Sierra Leone and the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL) and fully endorsed by the Head of the Peace building Support Office, following a review by the Senior Policy Group Peace building. On 1 March 2007, the Secretary-General formally announced that an allocation over US$35 million from the Peace building Fund had been made towards Sierra Leone. The Priority Plan was revised in July 2008 to include a fifth Priority Area; Support to Increased Energy.

The Sierra Leone PBF Priority Plan (revised in October 2008) identifies the following five priority areas:

  • Youth Empowerment and Employment
  • Democracy and Good Governance
  • Justice and Security
  • Support to Increased Energy
  • Capacity Building of Public Administration
