Integrity in Post War Reconstruction in Sierra Leone National Accountability Group Various locations in Sierra Leone January 2007 Keywords: Sierra Leone, Reconstruction, construction, corruption, National Accountability Group This documentary was intended to show if and how the reconstruction process has met the needs and expectations of the citizens of Sierra Leone. The film provides a short history of the war and addresses issues such as corruption in reconstruction, the delays in completion of projects, community involvement in consultation and rebuilding, monitoring mechanisms and the overall view of corruption in Sierra Leone. The National Accountability Group has made a concerted effort to talk with the construction workers, contractors, community members, market traders, and local politicians to get an adequate picture of how the process worked and was viewed on a general scale in Sierra Leone. The market ladies in Regent, for example, give an insightful explanation of how the consultation process has not been effective. The film concludes with recommendations on tackling corruption and advancing integrity in Sierra Leone. [More] [Less]

Most people have mined Diamond ores in Africa and in effect they are as slave.

Sierra Leone's only International Airport is located at Lungi which is separated from Freetown (the capital city) by a bay. To catch a flight one needs to take a helicopter, a ferry, a hovercraft and if all these means of transport fail you (and this can happen anytime) you could use the speedboat. It takles about 15-20 minutes where the ferry uses 45 at least. But watch out for the bumps and scares! Here's how to catch a flight at Lungi when all other means of transport is down. [More] [Less]

Dec 2005 It's one of the strangest football teams in the world. All the players have one leg, except the goalies who have one arm. But playing football is a lifeline for members of the amputees football team. At home, Maxwell is a shy, introverted man, deeply traumatised by his experiences in Sierra Leone's civil war. But on the pitch, he's unrecognisable, moving swiftly with great agility. Abandoned by the state in a refugee camp, he founded a football club for amputees. What the team lacks in facilities, they more than make up in attitude. [More] [Less]
