Sierra Leone - ACT: 30-Sep-02
Action by Churches Together (ACT)
Appeal - Sierra Leone
Relief & Rehabilitation - AFSL-21 (Revision 2)
Appeal Target: US$ 5,419,174
Balance Requested from ACT Network: US$ 3,819,378
Geneva, 30 September 2002
This revision of the appeal affects only the programs of CAID/CCSL, R&R
department. The other programs by the CCSL member churches, Lutheran World
Federation / World Service (LWF/WS), and Methodist Committee on Relief
(UMCOR) remain unaffected and can be referred to in revision 1 issued on
14 March 2002. It is should be pointed out at this stage that the funding
of this appeal has been very poor with an overall coverage of only 11% of
the target of $5,458,506
There are a number of reasons that have necessitated a downward revision
of the CCSL R&R 2002 programs and bring them to realistic funding
possibilities. But some of the main reasons are:
1. The residents of the three IDPs camps, which the department has been
managing since 1997, were repatriated in May 2002. With the resettlement
of the IDPs, the department's management responsibility as well as its
food distribution partnership with WFP to the IDPs ended.
2. Other projects, such as the construction of shelters in Kono/Kailahun
Districts, of latrines and wells in the chiefdoms of Kono, Kailahun,
Tonkolili, Moyamba, and Kenema have been taken out, as they were not
funded three-quarters of the year through.
3. The provision of NFIs to 4,000 returnee farm families in Tonkolili
District had also to be taken out for the same reason. In this regard, the
department settled on the distribution of the remaining NFIs in its stores
to IDPs and Liberian refugees
4. The long drawn out negotiation between the CCSL leadership and ACT
International in matters of the R&R management. The protracted
negotiations have had a negative impact on fundraising for the
department's programs resulting in the depletion of the department's funds
and therefore impacting negatively on the delivery of services to the
beneficiaries.
5. In view of the smoothly conducted Presidential and Parliamentary
elections in May 2002 and the apparent progress in peace in Sierra Leone,
the department decided to gradually shift its Peace Building & Civic
Education activities to Civic Education & HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign.
While at the beginning of the year, HIV/AIDS infected persons were said to
be 2.9% of the population, a recent survey revealed 4.9% prevalence rate.
Others such as the WHO even speak of between 6 and 7%.
ACT is a worldwide network of churches and related agencies meeting human
need through coordinated emergency response.
The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches
(WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland.
In view of such an alarming situation, the department plans to engage in
HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaigns in townships like Bo, Kenema, Moyamba and
Makeni. In preparation, the Peace Building & Civic Education Unit
participated in a Christian Aid facilitated HIV/AIDS workshop in April
2002 and plans are under way to arm the staff with further training in
co-operation with WHO and UNICEF.
This revised appeal for the R&R is in line with the annual plan
emphasising emergency humanitarian inputs into three newly accessible
districts (Tonkolili, Kono, and Kailahum), whilst continuing to provide
relief assistance to IDPs and recently exiled Liberia refugees. On the
other hand, R&R will continue to implement its ongoing rehabilitation and
consolidation work.

I. REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION
- Christian Aid (CA)
II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION
Christian Aid (CA)
Christian Aid was established in the mid-1940s and is the official agency
of 40 Churches representing most of the denominations in the UK and
Ireland. It currently works in over 60 countries in partnership with local
churches and other organisations. In Sierra Leone, Christian Aid is the
accompanying agency for ACT. The agency maintains a liaison office in
Freetown staffed by two expatriate personnel (programme accountant and
programme support officer) whose roles are to liase with and support
national partners located throughout the country. Principal amongst these
is the Council of Churches in Sierra Leone (CCSL). For the past five
years, Christian Aid has been the accompanying agency for CCSL's Relief
and Rehabilitation Department, to which a Director, jointly recruited by
Christian Aid and CCSL, is assigned.
Council Of Churches of Sierra Leone – Relief and Rehabilitation Department
(CCSL) CCSL, in partnership with ACT International and its accompanying
agency Christian Aid, has extensive experience in running emergency
programmes for victims of the war in Sierra Leone. This experience
includes supporting internally displaced people (IDPs), assisting returnee
families to re-establish and rebuild their livelihoods, addressing the
needs of especially vulnerable individuals and groups including
unaccompanied children (UAC), widows and the disabled, and undertaking
peace and reconciliation activities.
III. BACKGROUND
2002 can be described as the year, which finally brought peace to Sierra
Leone. Disarmament, Demobilisation of all combatants was completed in
December 2001. On January 13, 2002 President Kabbah declared the 10 years
officially over. With Government authority re-established throughout the
country, all curfew regulations were lifted. The state of emergency was
lifted on March 1. Presidential and parliamentarians elections took place
in May 2002 and the incumbent president won on both fronts.
On the humanitarian front, with the above evolution and the entire country
declared safe on January 10, 2002 by the UNAMSIL commander, General
Opande, formerly rebel held regions in the North and the East have become
accessible for humanitarian intervention. Little or no assistance has been
provided to those regions for almost a decade. This alarming situation,
coupled with the resettlement and reintegration tasks of the hundreds of
thousands of ex-combatants, IDPs and returning refugee families and, since
recently, the flooding in of thousands of Liberian refugees into the
eastern parts of the country, is weighing heavily on the meagre capacity
of Sierra Leone. According to UNOCHA, some 45,000 IDPs were resettled in
2001. Resettlement of all IDPs and returnees is expected to be completed
in June 2002.
At the time of writing some 21,500 Liberian refugees have entered the
country since the resurgence of armed conflicts in Liberia, and according
to the UNHCR, between 150 to 200, excluding those not registered by the
UNHCR, are arriving each day at its borders. The National Commission for
Social Action (NaCSA –formerly NCRRR) working figure was 50,000 refugees
from Liberia. In June, the figure was reviewed upwards to 75,000.
In view of the large scale of destruction in the formerly rebel held
areas, and the tasks related to resettlement and reintegration matters,
significant relief and rehabilitation assistance is urgently required
across-the-board. It is long before Sierra Leone turns the pages of its
chronic emergency needs. Continued assistance is also fundamental, as it
would contribute to the grounding of the peace process. At the same time,
military and political developments amongst and within the Mano River
Union countries need to be monitored closely, as they will influence the
humanitarian context in Sierra Leone.
The design of the 2002-revised programme reflects the outcomes of needs
assessment conducted in July 2001, and of the annual two-day planning
meeting held in Bo during August 2001. It also reflects the
recommendations of the strategic review carried out by the department in
April of the same year. In addition it takes into account both internal
and external developments in the past six months.
With the revised programme, plans are being embraced which would enable
the department to respond to relief needs more effectively and flexibly,
and which refocuses rehabilitation to the most vulnerable communities and
on those absorbing the most returnees and former combatants. The 2002 plan
also involves phasing out from a number of operational areas in which R&R
is currently working. The phasing-out strategy is designed to focus on:
- swamp (paddy) rice cultivation and fish culture to contribute to food
and seeds security and a relatively improved diet through protein intake
- latrines and wells construction to contribute to the fight against
water-born diseases
- strengthening of the community management committees through continued
sensitisation and follow-up activities by the department's FEWs and
Community Animators
- micro-credit and small business training programmes for vulnerable
groups, and
- peace building & civic education refresher workshops
- HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign.
With marked progress in peace and stability, many internally displaced
people and refugees have returned to their villages. Emergency agriculture
inputs and sanitation facilities needs are high.
Rehabilitation/construction of community infrastructures including
individual homes, WATSAN facilities (wells and latrines), schools, health
centres, court barris, etc. are urgently required.
The R&R revised appeal, in line with the annual plan, therefore emphasises
emergency humanitarian inputs into three newly accessible districts
(Tonkolili, Kono and Kailahun), whilst continuing to provide relief
assistance to IDPs and recently exiled Liberian refugees. On the other
hand, R&R will continue to implement its ongoing rehabilitation and
consolidation work. The R&R approach incorporates a hierarchy of
integrated inputs into targeted communities.
The department's entry point into the newly accessible areas is through
the provision of basic agricultural inputs such as seeds and tools to
farmers in Tonkolili. In the Kono Kailahun districts, the department will
focus on rehabilitating tree crop farms, as these districts were
traditionally cash crop areas. These activities are simultaneously linked
to schools, latrines and wells rehabilitation/construction, and provision
of tools to artisans and community-based peace consolidation and civic
education programmes.
After the first year emergency assistance, the R&R focus lays greater
emphasis on community participation in an integrated and targeted
programme of infrastructure rehabilitation, greater food security,
community based training of group farmers, fishers and artisans in basic
management and income generation activities. The maximum period of relief
& rehabilitation involvement in a community is planned not to exceed three
years.
Relief assistance for 2002 comprises the following elements:
- IDPs camp management and distribution of WFP food to the residents
(10,806 people)
- distribution of NFIs to 350 resettling IDP families in Bo township
(2,000 people)
- provide clothing for up to 2,000 refugees from Liberia
- provision of seeds and tools to 4,000 war affected farming households
(24,000 people)
- to assist 1,500 farm families (9,000 people) to rehabilitate 4,000 acres
of tree crop plantation in Kono and Kailahun Districts
Post-crisis assistance includes
- food security through the provision of agricultural inputs (provision
of seeds, tools and fishing tackle, rehabilitation of inland valley
swamp fields, tree crop farms and community seed stores, construction
of community fishponds, extension services, etc),
- construction of 5 schools and ten - 3-pit latrines
- training of beneficiaries in basic management skills, peace building and
and civic education and sensitisation work and training of beneficiaries
through community based animators.
Locations for response
Bo North - four chiefdoms (Valunia, Badja, Gbo and Selenga)
Moyamba District - two chiefdoms (Upper and Lower Banta)
Kenema District - two chiefdoms (Kandu Leppiama, Wandor)
Tonkolili District - four chiefdoms (Yoni, Gbonkolenken, Kafe Simiria and
Kalansogoia).
Kailahun District - two chiefdoms (Njawie and Njaluahun)
Kono District - two chiefdoms (Nimikoro and Nimiyama)
R&R has devised a programme strategy which will enable it to respond to
relief needs more effectively and flexibly and which will refocus
rehabilitation on to the most vulnerable communities, phasing out
programmes with those communities now more able to manage themselves.
In 2002, the R&R plan to operate in 592 villages. Of these:
- 191 villages in 14 sections and 6 chiefdoms are classified as emergency
intervention areas. These are mainly found in the newly accessible
districts of Tonkolili, Kono and Kailahun.
- 123 villages in 8 sections and 3 chiefdoms are considered as areas where
rehabilitation activities should continue for one more year, before the
implementation of a phasing-out plan in 2003. These are mainly situated in
Kenema and Tonkolili Districts.
- 278 villages in 31 sections and 7 chiefdoms are catalogued as
phasing-out areas. These are mainly located in Bo, Kenema and Moyamba
Districts. The activities in these parts will focus on
rehabilitation/consolidation activities, particularly in the areas of food
security and sanitation. In accordance with its plan, the department will
have phased out of the locations by the end of 2002. Its activity in 2003
in these districts will mainly consist of periodical follow-ups,
supervision and monitoring.

IV. TARGETED BENEFICIARIES
Beneficiary selection criteria Once funds are made available, a
registration and verification exercise for each activity will follow to
single out the actual beneficiaries. The criteria for registration will
depend on the nature of the activity and vulnerability of the targeted
communities. Priority will be given to the most vulnerable families who
have lost their economic means and received little or no previous
assistance.
The following criteria were used to select communities to be targeted and
to determine areas of intervention:
- Security
- Accessibility
- Presence of CCSL member churches
- Degree of destruction
- Vulnerability (female headed households, displaced, returnees, disabled
and elderly)
- Capacity to shoulder the programme (size of farmland, availability of
labour force, etc )
- Willingness to undertake community work and to contribute to the
programme through labour or supply of local materials
- Presence and activities of other NGOs
- Level of food crop production.
Number and type of targeted beneficiaries:
The total programme will approximately reach 120,000 beneficiaries.
Interventions will be targeted at returning refugees, IDPs, farmers and
artisans that have returned to their villages and who need support to
restart their livelihood activities, along with vulnerable people and
village communities as a whole. The targeted population will vary
according to the activities they are involved in.
V. GOAL & OBJECTIVES

VI. PROPOSED ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
A. To respond to the immediate humanitarian needs of 11,000 IDPs
- IDPs Camp management
To ensure ongoing and effective camp management for 10,806 residents of
the three IDP camps in Bo, and manage the monthly distribution of WFP food
assistance to camp residents.
[With the peace process in progresses, all IDPs in the R&R managed camps
have returned to their home villages in May 2002. With the resettlement of
the IDPs, the department's management responsibility as well as its food
distribution partnership to IDPs with WFP ended. This part is included in
this revised Appeal, so as to be able to account at the end of the year]
- Clothing
To provide clothing to 2,000 refugees from Liberia in co-operation with
the UNHCR and the National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA).
Armed conflict in Liberia over the course of 2001/2 has resulted in the
influx of thousands of Liberian refugees into Sierra Leone. Many of the
refugees arrived with little or no clothing. The R&R will provide the
clothing from its store.
- Non Food Items (NFIs)
- To provide packages of NFIs to 350 IDPs families (2,000 people)
resettling in Kono from Bo town.
Whilst IDPs in the various camps were provided with NFIs, those residing
in the townships were somehow left out. CCSL R&R, after consultations with
NaCSA, agreed to supply the Bo town IDPs with NFIs out of it store.
- To provide packages of NFIs to five handicap institutions in Bo town and
130 flood victim households (700 persons) in Moyamba District
- Seeds & Tools
To assist 4,000 war-affected farm families (24,000 people) in Kalansogoia
and Kafe Simiria Chiefdoms in Tonkolili District to return to normal food
production through the provision of seeds and tools.
The R&R Department was operating in these two districts until December
1998. When fighting broke out in January 1999, many were forced to
abandon their homes and fields and flee to relatively secured areas, so
agricultural activities were seriously disrupted. With the current signs
of peace, many are returning to their villages, but possess little or
nothing with which to restart their farming lives. The department sees
this initial provision as a one-off essential emergency intervention and
intends to provide the following inputs on a non-loan recovery basis.
Each farm family will be provided with 2 bushels (50 kg) of seed rice, 1
Bushel (18Kg) of groundnuts seeds, 1 curved cutlass, 1 straight cutlass, 1
small hoe, 1 large hoe, 1 felling axe and one 36cm bucket.
B. To respond to emergency tree crop farms rehabilitation needs in the
recently accessible Tonkolili, Kono and Kailahun Districts
- Rehabilitation of tree crop farms
With the disarmament process in progress, some INGOs (Save the Children,
IMC, AFRICARE, NRC) and NNGOs like MCSL have stepped in to assist with
seeds and tools, medical care and education. CCSL-R&R plans to focus on
the rehabilitation of tree crop plantations.
Before the war, Kailahun and Kono districts were, for instance, known for
its palm oil, coffee and cocoa plantations. These ranged in size from 3 to
20 acres, and produced enough to allow farmers to support themselves.
During the war years however, plantations were abandoned and left to run
down.
This input is intended to be a one-off support, providing the means for
people to get back on their feet. Communities will be provided with the
opportunity to rehabilitate their plantation and engage in food
production, as well as other income generating activities. In this
process, it is also planned to integrate ex-combatants. There will be
strong emphasis on building community capacity for self-reliance.
Towards this end, the department will assist 1,500 (9,000 persons)
vulnerable tree crop farm families to rehabilitate 4,000 acres, through
the provision of 4,000 cutlasses, 800 felling axes, 8 palm nutcrackers and
50 palm oil pressers.
Rehabilitation/Consolidation (Phasing-out) Activities
A. To rehabilitate and consolidate agriculture production systems in the
districts of Bo, Kenema, Moyamba and Tonkolili
- Rehabilitation of Swamp and Upland Rice and Cash Crop Farms
- 200 acres of swamp rice farms will be rehabilitated in Bo (20 acres),
Moyamba (80 acres), Kenema (40 acres), and Tonkolili (60 acres) Districts.
The beneficiaries will also be trained in the maintenance and development
of their rice fields. With one farming group per 20 acres of swamp rice
farms, each group will be provided with 10 bushels of rice seed, 4
shovels, 2 spades, 4 head- pan, 2 pick axes and 100 yards of garden line.
60 upland rice farming groups will also receive 10 bushels of rice seed
and tools. - 1,400 acres of cash crop farms benefiting 336 farmers will be
rehabilitated through the provision of tools and equipment
- Fishing tackle
5 fishing groups in Yoni and Gbonkolenken Chiefdoms will be provided with
fishing tackle.
Each group will be provided with 5 x 3 slack, 5 x 2 finger slack, 5 x 4mm
nylon chord, 5 x 6mm nylon chord, 5 x 8 mm nylon chord, 5 mending twine, 5
x no.1 hook, 5 x no.7 hook, 5 x no.10 hook, 5 x no.11 hook, 300 lead
slate, 700 float.
- Fish Production
To introduce community-managed fish production in 2 villages (1 in Falla
Wandor Chiefdom, Kenema District; 1 in Gbonkolenken Chiefdom, Tonkolili
District)
The R&R Department will assist with the construction of a fishpond in each
of these villages, selected because of their distance from river sources.
Group members will receive training in fishpond management techniques.
The two groups will be each provided with 6 shovels, 4 head pan, 3 PVC
pipe, 2 PVC elbow pipe, 2 pick axes, 1 NPK 15:15:15, 2 twenty litre
havoline, 1,000 fingerlings, 1 wire mesh and 20 empty bags
- Community Seed Stores
To rehabilitate 6 community seed stores in Kenema (2), Moyamba (2) and
Tonkolili (2) Districts, in co-operation with the Infrastructure Unit, in
efforts to lessen post-harvest losses. Existing traditional stores will
be provided by the communities who will contribute in the rehabilitation
work with the participation of community artisans.
- Farming & Managerial Skills Training
To increase the farming and managerial skills of its beneficiaries, the
R&R Dept will provide training for community groups in food security, crop
husbandry and resource management, inland swamp cultivation and
development, and fishpond management.
- Agricultural Extension Services To strengthen the organisational and
managerial capacities of farming groups and Community Development
Committees in all operational areas through continuous sensitisation,
training, follow-up activities and technical agricultural extension
services.
Field Extension Workers (FEWs) offer agricultural extension services to
all farm families and farming groups, they make farm visits and maintain
demonstration plots, as well as working closely with the Chiefdom
Development Committees in the recovery of seed loans.
The role of the FEW in facilitating community management structures is
vital to the long-term sustainability of the agriculture and
infrastructure programmes, enabling phase-out of R&R.
- Food Security Survey
To organise a food security survey at the end of the agricultural season,
to assess the level of food security in R&R's operational areas, and feed
into the R&R food security programme.
B. To strengthen management capacity of 80 community farming groups and 16
artisan groups in Bo, Kenema, Moyamba and Tonkolili districts
- To provide training in basic management skills to 160 farmers (1 male
and 1 female representative of each of 80 farming groups) and to 32
artisans (2 from each artisan group) in Bo, Kenema, Moyamba and Tonkolili
Districts. The department's Micro-Credit Unit in co-operation with the
Agriculture and Infrastructure Units and Community Animators will conduct
the training.
C. To contribute to the improvement of schooling and sanitation facilities
through the construction of schools and latrines
- Construction of Schools
Two 4-classroom schools will be constructed in Kenema Falla Wandor and
three 3-classroom will be constructed in Moyamba and Moyamba. Contractors
will undertake the construction work. Communities will contribute in kind
and labour.
- Construction of latrines
To reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases in phasing-out areas ten
3-pit latrines will be constructed in Tonkolili
The work will be undertaken in co-operation with local authorities, and
the participating community members will contribute labour and local
materials. Village-level committees will ensure that the needs and
concerns of the local community are represented, and will monitor the
construction work in co- operation with section and chiefdom authorities.
- Hygiene Promotion
To conduct hygiene promotion and organise water and sanitation (WATSAN)
training workshops for community animators in Yoni, Gbonkolenken and Upper
and Lower Banta Chiefdoms, in order to ensure adequate maintenance of
latrine and well facilities.
D. To promote peace building, civic education and HIV/AIDS Awareness
activities between populations of returning refugees, internally displaced
people, host communities and ex- combatants
Over the past three years, the Peace Building and Civic Education Unit has
trained Community-Based Animators (CBAs) and Church Representatives in
conflict resolution, peace building, reconciliation and civic education.
Those trained animators work in promoting peace and reconciliation within
their own communities.
In view of the smoothly conducted Presidential and parliamentary elections
in May 2002 and the apparent progress in peace in Sierra Leone, the
department plans to gradually shift its Peace Building & Civic Education
activities to Civic Education & HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign. While at the
beginning of the year, HIV/AIDS infected persons were said to be 2.9% of
the population, a recent survey showed 4.9% prevalence rate. Others, such
as the WHO even speak of between 6 and 7%.
In view of such an alarming situation, the department plans to engage in
HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign in townships like Bo, Kenema, Moyamba and
Makeni. In preparation, the Peace Building & Civic Education Unit
participated in a Christian Aid facilitated HIV/AIDS workshop in April
2002 and plans are under way to arm the staff with further training in
co-operation with WHO and UNICEF. The Unit's 2002 activity will thus be:
- To sensitise community members and opinion leaders (chiefdom and section
authorities, religious leaders, women representatives, teachers, youths,
ex-combatants) in peace building, human rights, the peace process,
reintegration of ex-combatants and the Sierra Leone constitution.
- To provide refresher training, regular follow-up visits and supervision
for Community-Based Animators and Church Representatives in Bo, Kenema,
Moyamba, Tonkolili to build capacity of existing Community Peace
Committees to facilitate the peaceful reintegration of ex-combatants, IDPs
and returnees into communities.
- To integrate HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaigns in all its activities
VII. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
The Relief and Rehabilitation (R&R) Department's activities expanded from
being purely relief based in 1997, to include rehabilitation. Financial
constraints prompted the department to undertake a review process in April
2001. In the light of this review the department has been restructured in
June of the same year, with a staff compliment of 79.
Staff Compliment
The R&R Department staff, with the exception of the Director is legally
employed by the CCSL under the terms of Sierra Leone Labour Laws and
relevant regulations. The R&R staff comprises of:
Management: 4 (Director and 3 program managers)
Senior Staff: 9 (Unit Leaders)
Intermediate Staff: 8 (Supervisors)
Junior Staff: 33 (Team Members)
15 (Security guards, Drivers, Cleaners)
Management
The management team is composed of a director, the administration &
finance manager and two programme managers.
R&R programme activities are implemented through five units: Agriculture,
Infrastructure, Peace Building and Civic Education, Emergency Response and
Camp Management and Skills Training and Income Generation Units. A Unit
Leader heads each unit.
A monitoring & evaluation unit oversees all programme activities and
reports directly to the Director. A unit leader manages each Unit.
Administration & Finance
The finance and administration sector comprises the budget and accounting,
secretarial support, logistics, fleet, stores, technical support and
security units. The Finance Unit ensures that the financial aspects of the
programme are carefully monitored and controlled. Management accounts are
produced monthly. The Christian Aid Sierra Leone Programmes Accountant, in
conjunction with the Finance & Administration Manager, Head of Finance and
the Internal Auditor, prepares annual accounts for external audit. A
leading international firm of accountants audits the Department's accounts
annually.
Reporting
Each programme unit provides a monthly report to its respective line
manager, who will present these to the director. The director in turn
reports to the R&R Board, the CCSL General Secretary and Christian Aid.
Christian Aid reports to the ACT international and the CCSL.
Monitoring
A Monitoring & Evaluation Unit overseas the implementation of all
programmes activities, with particular emphasis on impact assessment
activities that help to inform the Department's planning process.
VIII. IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE
