UNDAF 2004-2007

The UN country team, in close collaboration with UNAMSIL, prepared in 2002 a UN Peace-building and Recovery Strategy (PBRS) to plan for the transition from relief to development and from peace-keeping to peace-building.

The UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) translates the key dimensions of the PBRS into a common operational framework for development activities upon which the individual UN agencies, funds and programmes will formulate their actions for the period 2004-2007.

The World Bank’s future assistance strategy will take into account the UNDAF. The UNDAF will also assist the UN system in focusing its contribution to the implementation of Sierra Leone’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper.

The UNDAF is the result of an on-going consultative process, both within the UN and with the Government and its partners. It is guided by national priorities, as outlined in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), the National Recovery Strategy and global targets such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

UNDAF will guide the UN System’s efforts to assist the People and the

Government of Sierra Leone as they address the consequences and the causes of the conflict. The UNDAF therefore focuses on four inter-related areas of cooperation where the UN system utilizes its accumulated experience, technical expertise and financial resources: (i) Poverty reduction and reintegration, (ii) Human rights and reconciliation, (iii) Good governance, peace and stability, and, (iv) Economic recovery.
