| Summary: | Social protection is a critical
policy instrument in Sierra Leone to address the multiple
risks and vulnerabilities faced by citizens. Through the
Medium-term National Development Plan for 2019-2023, the
government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) stated its aim to expand
social assistance to cover thirty percent of the vulnerable
population, and launched the National Social Protection
Policy (NSPP) in 2011 to reflect new vulnerabilities. The
government also announced plans for enshrining social
protection into law, supported by a national strategy and
plan of action. The objective of this Public Expenditure
Review (PER) is to assess public expenditures on social
assistance programs and Active Labor Market Programs (ALMPs)
in Sierra Leone, with the intention of informing
policymakers of the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs. |
