Sierra Leone Hosts Cyber Security Conference

Minister of Information and Communication Mr. Mohamed Rado Swarray

By Amin Kef Sesay 15th August 2019

A workshop designed to map out Sierra Leone’s response to the increasingly worrying cyber security was held on Wednesday August 14 in Freetown.

The 2019 National Cyber Security Risk Management Workshop will among other things, provided the platform to utilize information which will be gathered from an initial picture of the cyber security risk to Critical  National Information in Sierra Leone which will inform the  prioritization of future investment in building cyber security capacity, said a statement  issued by the Ministry of Information and Communications which is jointly hosting the event with the International Cooperation and Development Team of the UK.

Various government and Non-Governmental Institutions have been identified as key stakeholders to the National Cyber Security Risk Management workshop, it said.

“It is expected that their cooperation will be vital in gathering data about Critical National Information (CNI) as one or more of their  systems are critical to the current and future cyber security,” the  statement said.

Sierra Leone is one of a few countries with no cyber laws, which law enforcement agencies and regulators say is frustrating efforts to respond to growing trend of cyber-crime.

Of particular concern has been the increase in spate of scam using mobile phones and the sim box fraud which the National Telecommunications Commission say is costing the country millions of US dollars annually.

 

Sierra Leone Civil Society Demands Tougher Actions against Mining Companies

By Amin Kef Sesay 15th August 2019

Sierra Leone is blessed with abundant mineral resources like many other African countries in the sub-region. The country’s verse mineral resources however, have not been exploited utilized to benefit its people and the country as a whole. Mining communities remains in abject poverty, with poor infrastructure, poor health and educational facilities, high level of insecurity and human right abuses.

Sierra Leone’s new president however, in a bid to correct the situation, has promised to, among other things:

(i) Review the Mines and Minerals Act 2009 as well as Mining Lease Agreements to realign with the Mining Policy and ensure it is consistent with international best practices (ii) enact the Extractive Industry Revenue Bill (iii) establish the Natural Resources Account for all revenues generated from extractives (iv) strengthen the National Minerals Agency (NMA) (v) allocate percentages of revenue from the mining sector to education, health and the general development of mining communities (vi) ensure full transparency in the sector through complying with the

Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) standards and provide updated and validated information on tax and other contributions from the mining sector to the government (vii) support value additions to our mineral resources with a view to generating jobs and additional income to Sierra Leoneans (viii) ensure that all mining companies comply with the local content policy and (ix) enforce corporate social responsibility in all mining activities.

The minerals sector comprising mostly diamonds, iron ore, bauxite, rutile, gold and mineral sands, is said to contribute about 24 percent to GDP and over

80 percent to export earnings but generates only 15 percent of its total revenues according to official figures from the ministry of finance. This is well below its potential.

The Natural Resource Governance and Economic Justice Network – Sierra Leone (NaRGEJ -SL) recognizes the strides of the government of President Julius Maada Bio so far since it came to power, including;

  • Starting Geological Airborne survey supported by the World Bank
  • Launching the three (3) Mineral Sector Policies: the ‘Sierra Leone Minerals Policy’, the ‘Artisanal Miming Policy’, and the ‘Geo -data Management Policy of Sierra Leone’
  • Suspension of licenses of two large-scale mining companies
  • The cancellation of the Shandong Mining Lease Agreement

While the above actions are in line with contributing to improving the governance of mining sector, NaRGEJ holds the view that more comprehensive actions with rights-based and people-centered processes are needed in order to respond more effectively to the critical nature of the problems besetting the sector. To this end, NaRGEJ recommends in furtherance of its 2 July 2018 submission to the Ministry of Mines and Mineral Resources government to:

  1. As NaRGEJ endorses the present suspensions and cancellations of Licenses, it also calls government to slam a moratorium on all large- scale mining companies until due diligence is done on all of them.
  2. An expedited transparent and participatory review of the Mines and Minerals Act 2009 is done ensuring that citizens (especially communities affected by mining, civil society, women, local authorities, people with disabilities, the youth, etc.) are adequately consulted. Minerals are public assets, and so the public has a right to have a say on all matters relating to it.
  3. Carry out a comprehensive review of the National Minerals Agency (NMA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the view to strengthening them to be effective.
  4. Present a well-articulated strategy and operational plan with time lines and targets/milestones of how government intends meeting the nine (9) commitments His Excellency the President Dr. Julius Maada Bio made to the people of Sierra Leone on the occasion of the State Opening of Parliament on Thursday, 10th May 2018.
  5. Government to make a clear statement on how concretely it intends to make good its commitment to using international standards and best practices in the mining sector with particular reference to the African Mining Vision (AMV), UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), etc.

Onanah Jalloh, NYS Executive Director

By Elkas Sannoh – 15th August 2019

The Executive Director National Youth Service, Onanah Jalloh, has disclosed to a 5-man delegation from the United Nations New York office that his institution was created to cater for young graduates in the employment market by creating the work opportunities and sustainable livelihood.

He was speaking yesterday at a round table meeting held at the Office of National Security (ONS) conference room organized by the Ministry of Youth Affairs in partnership with the UN Resident Coordinator about the security risk around young people.

According to him, the NYS is a key solution for the growing youth unemployment in the country, adding that with the Kenya model, the current Government will achieve the middle level manpower as envisioned in the medium term development plan, 2019 to 2023.

He said the first batch of 200 graduate corps have been recruited and deployed across the country for a dedicated one year service. He went on to state that before the end of the year, NYS will also recruit 500 young graduates. He assured that at the end of August, 2019 the application forms will be made available to the public.

“We have developed five pillars in tandem with the proposed  Act that will soon be reviewed,” he said whilst emphasizing that pillar one will be paramilitary training and service regimentation; pillar two will be youth socialization; pillar three will focus on social mobilization and vocational training; pillar four is enterprise and youth economy and pillar five is bankable institutional architecture.

Dilating on the purpose of the round table meeting, the Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs, Hon. Lusine Kallon, said they are about to commence a joint assessment mission with the UN New York team and other relevant stakeholders in the country to know the patterns of recruitment and mobilization of young people into cliques and gangs in rural and urban areas.

He added that the assessment will try to identify elements that could contribute to empower youth at risk.

“There is no mistake to start our joint assessment mission to identify the strategy or strategies used to recruit vulnerable youth into a gang or clique groups,” he averred.

The Deputy Minister submitted that “you will all agree with me that the experiences and prospects of youths in Sierra Leone require careful consideration.”

In that regard, he went on, “let me now assure you that this government is demonstrating that a youth crisis of that nature will now belong to the past. We are sensitive to the needs of our young men and women because they are the lifeblood of this great nation.”

He informed that under the distinct leadership of President Julius Maada Bio, they have laid the solid foundation and the country is speedily building on them for concrete development.

As a government, he continued, “we believe we cannot do it alone and therefore we are grateful to the United Nations Country Team and the UN Resident Coordinator for consenting to work with us to undertake an assessment on youths at risk.

Mario Nascimento, the UN Policy and Planning Officer for Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration encouraged the Government to create an environment that suits the youth.

He said government alone cannot provide jobs needed for young people and recommended for a strong partnership with the private sector.

The Minister of Youth Affairs, Mohamed O. Bangura said he has got the right team to work with amidst low staffing capacity. He called for more support to implement projects that will ameliorate the challenges facing our youth.

Representing the Inspector General of Police, Inspector Henrietta Sesay, recommended that the Ministry of Youth Affairs should partner with the Local Police Partnership Board in the dissemination of information to the targeted youth.

 

Rokel Bank Sierra Leone setup desk at LAB for Child Maintenance Account

By Joseph Dumbuya – 15th August 2019

The Rokel Commercial Bank has set up a desk at the Legal Aid Board head office in Freetown to open Child Maintenance Accounts. The desk was opened at the request of the Board and run by two bank staff. It will operate for some months and will be opened in the regional offices in the coming months.

During this period all women receiving child maintenance money from the finance office of the Board will be required to come to the office and open an account. Come October, mothers will not be receiving money from Finance Office. ‘The Board does not have the personnel to handle child maintenance money,’ the Executive Director of the Board, Ms. Fatmata Claire Carlton-Hanciles said. ‘This is why we are handing over that particular responsibility to the banks,’ she added.

According to the HR Manager of the Board, Ms. Audrey Williams who is overseeing the opening of the accounts, this arrangement will make it easier for the women to go through the processes because the environment is one they are used to and the Board staff will be at hand to offer any assistance they may need. ‘They are our clients, they feel relaxed when they are with us,’ she said

Ms. Williams said it was difficult for clients because some were opening bank accounts for the first time. Also, the bank environment was not familiar and to add insult to injury, producing the necessary documents required to open the account was a huge challenge.  ‘We decided we’ve had enough complaints and requested for a desk at our office,’ she said.

The Executive Director of the Legal Aid Board, Ms. Fatmata Claire Carlton-Hanciles described the development as a huge successes considering the fact that five accounts were opened by midday. She underlined the need for the clients to be treated with utmost respect and care as they go about opening the account. ‘Our clients have gone through a lot in the hands of men who betrayed their trust by abandoning their responsibilities to their children and by extension society,’ she said.

Ms. Carlton-Hanciles also took the opportunity to console and assure two young mothers who came to collect their child maintenance money but to their utter dismay were told their children’s fathers have not paid the money. ‘We will do everything possible to compel them to pay the child maintenance money they have agreed to,’ she said. ‘Thankfully, we have secured court orders for these maintenance cases. We will take legal action against them for flouting court orders.

It will be recalled that the Board opened the first child maintenance account at the Siaka Stevens Branch of the Rokel Commercial Bank on the 2 July 2019. This followed mounting pressure on the Board from mothers, guardians and caregivers who had come to the office to collect child maintenance money only to be told no money had been paid in by the children’s fathers.

 

 

Sierra Leone Sports Ministry, SLFA at Loggerheads Over Sellas Tetteh Appointment as Leone Stars Coach

Sellas Tetteh

By Thaimu Thullah – 15th August 2019

The Government of Sierra Leone has rejected the appointment of Ghanaian trainer Sellas Tetteh as the head coach of Leone Stars.

The Sierra Leone Football Association confirmed the appointment of the Ghana Under-20 World Cup winner as their new man on Tuesday.

Tetteh beat off competition from other shortlisted coaches including Goran Stevanovic, Peter Butler, Tahseen Jabbary and Keister who won the 2019 Sierra Leone Premier League with East End Lions.

However, his appointment has not been recognised by Sierra Leone’s Sports Ministry which claims that the selection process for the new coach “did not come to a logical conclusion,” and was “incomplete.”

“The report of the Ministry’s representatives also observed that representative from the Sierra Leone Football Association on the interview panel came with a premeditated mind of appointing the said coach,” part of a statement released on Wednesday August 14 read.

“Therefore the Ministry does not recognize Sellas Tetteh as the Head Coach of the Sierra Leone National Team A because the process was incomplete.

“The Ministry of Sports wants to assure all Sierra Leoneans that the government is committed to supporting sports in the country and the process of appointing the National Team A coach will soon come to a conclusion.”

The Ghanaian trainer was making a return to the West African nation for a second stint after handling the Leone Stars between 2015 and 2017.

The 62-year-old has loads of experience in the field having guided Ghana to win the U20 FIFA World Cup in 2019, the only African coach to achieve such a feat for an African nation.

Tetteh also led the Ghana U20 to the FIFA World Cups in 2013 and 2015 finishing third and round of 16 respectively.

The former Liberty Professionals coach and Technical Director has also been in charge of the Rwanda national team from 2010 to 2011.

Tetteh was also the assistant coach of the Black Stars from 2004 to 2008.

Sellas Tetteh will take charge of Sierra Leone’s 2021 Nations Cup and 2022 World Cup campaigns

Tetteh beat off competition from other shortlisted coaches including Goran Stevanovic, Peter Butler, Tahseen Jabbary and Keister who won the 2019 Sierra Leone Premier League with East End Lions.

The Sierra Leone Football Association, however, says Tetteh’s appointment follows a “through” recruitment procedure.

Tetteh will be in charge of both the Leone Stars’ 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and 2022 World Cup campaigns.

The former Rwanda coach is currently in Freetown and is expected to have started work on Thursday this week.

His first match in charge will be against Liberia in Monrovia in a 2022 World Cup preliminary round first leg qualifier on 4 March.

The match will mark Sierra Leone’s return to international football after their suspension was lifted by Fifa in June.

Coach Tetteh’s appointment comes exactly four years after he was first given the same job on a temporary basis.

He was in charge of five official games, winning two against Sudan and Chad, losing one to Chad and drawing their 2017 Nations Cup home and away qualifying matches with Ivory Coast.

Coach Tetteh briefly served as caretaker coach of Ghana in 2008 and was also Black Stars assistant coach from 2004 to 2008.

Minister of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment, Dr. Dennis Sandy

By Sumner Kangbap – 13th August 2019

The Minister of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment, Dr. Dennis Sandy on Monday 13th August 2019 in an exclusive interview commended the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations for its invaluable support to the Government, especially the Ministry, to sanitize the land tenure system in the country.

He highlighted the role of FAO to enhance the capacity of  Traditional Authorities (especially Paramount Chiefs, Section Chiefs, and Mamie Queens) to better understand and advocate for the peace-building mechanisms and promoting women’s land and property rights in their communities in addition to increasing their knowledge and awareness on global and national principles, policies and practices such as the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) and the National Land Policy-the existing legal framework for securing land and property rights.

According to Dr. Sandy, over the years, FAO has enriched the skills of Traditional Leaders in Alternative to Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms to address especially land conflicts in their various communities and informed that the United Nations Peace Building Fund Project (PBF) is linked to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which includes reducing poverty and inequality, zero hunger, gender equality and commended staff of his Ministry for being pivotal in the entire project articulating that Paramount Chiefs are the right people to discuss land rights, disseminate the correct information about land rights as well as become agents of peace and change to ensure that all have equal access to land.

The Lands Minister further revealed that the mapping of lands in some selected chiefdoms in the country has created impact with a lot of advantages and acclaimed the Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator, Green Scenery and NAMATI, underscored that land is critical for development, appealed to Sierra Leoneans to empower others on how to productively make use of land to improve their lives and expressed thanks to FAO for partnering with ILO and other donors to make a difference and create change in Sierra Leone.

“If women, who account for 51% of the population, own land, they will contribute to food security and take good care of their families,” Dr. Sandy asserted.

He also gave the history of the National Land Policy that was developed by UNDP and the Government of Sierra Leone, with technical support from FAO and other partners and approved in November 2016 after nationwide consultations intimating that the new policy would help to address the many challenges in the land sector, correct the mistakes of the past, address climate change and food insecurity and equal access to land emphasizing that the customs and traditions of the people, human dignity, gender equity, transparency and accountability and the challenges women face to access land, were all taken onboard the new policy.

The Minister also disclosed that the main aim of the New Land Policy is to create peaceful societies in Sierra Leone, commended donors for supporting land reforms in the country, assured that access to land would improve in the future, that women are discriminated against in the two land tenure systems in the country and informed that government can acquire land anywhere in the country for development purposes for which the owners would be compensated.

Dr. Sandy furthered, “the Ministry is aware of the numerous challenges relating to land, including large-scale acquisition of land, weak land administration, conflicting and overlapping land laws. My Ministry will go the extra-mile to fully implement the National Land Policy and the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) according to the national development policy. Also, large-scale land investments must be responsible, respect human rights, promote food security, alternative livelihood and protect the environment.”

He also articulated that Paramount Chiefs are the right people to discuss land rights, disseminate the correct information about land rights as well as become agents of peace and change to ensure that all have equal access to land disclosing that the mapping of lands would be scaled-up in some areas, that the pilot project was implemented in eight chiefdoms and 16 villages according to geographic balance –Bo, Kenema, Port Loko and Bombali, that FAO has received a lot of requests to map the lands of other districts, that land includes forests and fisheries, that Sierra Leone is rich in natural resources which, if properly utilized, would benefit the people revealing that over $200 million worth of rice is imported annually in-spite of the country’s fertile soil, rain and abundance land, that over 90% of land is in the provinces and reiterated the need to empower women stressing that traditional leaders are key to peace and stability.

With UNDP Support… Kambia & Kono Benefit from AID/Sierra Leone Awareness Raising on Adaptive Capacities of Climate Change on Water Services

One of the drama groups in action
Participants listen with rapt attention

By Sumner Kangbap – 13th August 2019

With funds from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Advocacy Initiative for Development-Sierra Leone (AID-SL) has intensified its awareness raising engagements with district stakeholders on ‘Adaptive Capacities of Climate Change on Water Services’ in both Kono and Kambia Districts.

Local Council staff, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and CSOs are taking the lead with active participation to ensure that their communities are aware of the adverse effects and adoptable measures to mitigate climate change on their water services. In the bid to increase awareness on climate change, key and interesting activities were organized in strategic project and highly affected communities in the two districts.

Two theatre drama performances were organized in highly-populated communities. In Kono District, it was held in two chiefdoms-Yardu village, Gbense Chiefdom and Bumpeh Town in Nimikoro chiefdom while in Kambia it was organized at the Main Lorry Park along the Guinea-Sierra Leone Highway and at the popular Bamoi Lumo Market respectively.

The two highly-acclaimed drama groups are the Kono Entertainers and the Kambia Home Boys-both known as local comedy groups always performing unique skits with conscious messages to sensitize their respective communities. The accomplished drama skits in the two districts had interesting characters showcasing the causes, effects and adoptive measures of climate change. Members of the two communities benefited from local and simple messages which they can easily and quickly disseminate to their colleagues, age and peer groups. Each drama performance lasted an hour with many questions, concerns and recommendation from the communities.

Furthermore, 1000 information packages with key environmental and water-related messages were developed with fantastic diagrams depicting the causes, hazards and stop-gap measures of climate change on the water services in the communities. The designed messages were distributed among the people and displayed at the entrances of public offices and places like the Lorry Parks, Ataya Bases, Ghettos, Cinemas and Night Clubs for people to see the diagrams and read the messages for action to mitigate climate change.

Forty (40) radio discussion programs were broadcast during which listeners sent in text messages, twenty (20 per district-Kambia and Kono) were received.

The most popular community radio station with wide coverage was identified and contracted for the discussion programs.

Timely and relevant information was disseminated on climate change on the country’s water services during the discussions. The discussion programs titled, Climate Change Hour for Kambia was aired from 8–9 pm every Wednesday while that for Kono was broadcast from 9–10 pm daily on Thursdays.

During the regular weekly talk shows, most of the callers commended AID/SL and UNDP for the educative program and appealed for sustainability of the program as they are firmly convinced that it would help mitigate the behavior, attitude and practices of the people to change the prevailing situation of climate change in their communities.

The implemented project activities were climaxed by a group evaluation exercise. Two project evaluation meetings were organized in Kambia and Kono. The district stakeholders, the project target and some beneficiaries from the communities had a day’s meeting to evaluate the activities as against the outcomes and results. An evaluation tool in the form of questions were developed and used during the meeting to measure the impact of the project activities on the people and their communities.

Also, frank discussions were held, lessons learnt, challenges and recommendations were suggested for the attention of AID/SL and UNDP for future support.

The Advocacy Initiative for Development-Sierra Leone (AID-SL) is a human-rights national Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) founded in 2000 and officially registered with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in 2002 and in 2009 with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MOFED).
