| Summary: | Sierra Leone is a low-income, small
West African country of approximately 7.65 million
population. Over the past decade, the country has made gains
on several health indicators, but it faces huge challenges.
Infectious diseases remain the leading causes of morbidity
and mortality, but non-communicable diseases appear to be
trending upward. Critical skills and competencies in public
financial management, procurement, and monitoring and
evaluation (M&E) require strengthening to deliver health
improvements. The objective of this Public Expenditure
Review (PER) was to assess public expenditure on health to
inform policymakers of the effectiveness, efficiency, and
equity of health expenditures in Sierra Leone. |
