I. INTRODUCTION

1. The Board o f Executive Directors discussed the FY06-09 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for Sierra Leone on M a y 5, 2005 (Report No. 31793-SL). At that time, Sierra Leone was seen to have made a remarkably successful transition f rom the end o f the conflict in 2002; peace and security had been established throughout the country, the armed forces and police had been rebuilt, school enrolment had increased, chi ld immunization rates dramatically improved and macroeconomic stability established with good economic growth.

2. The Wor ld Bank’s CAS, in support o f the country’s PRSP, was intended to mark the transition from a post-conflict environment to a new framework for development. Many objectives o f the 2005 CAS have been secured or are on the path to being accomplished; relative macroeconomic stability has been achieved as defined by improved growth, low inflation and a relatively stable exchange rate. Estimation o f poverty levels suggest the population l iv ing in poverty has decreased f rom around 67 percent in 2003 to between 57 and 62 percent in 2007. Tangible progress has been achieved in decentralization, public financial management, finance and private sector reform and infrastructure (notably power and roads).

3. Despite progress Sierra Leone’s recovery remains fragile and the country continues to rank amongst the least advantaged o f countries in various measures. For example, Sierra Leone was 177th out o f 177 countries in the 2007/2008 UNDP Human Development Index rankings, wi th particularly high number o f infant, chi ld and maternal deaths. Much remains to be done to improve governance and accountability, tackle high levels o f unemployment and poor infrastructure (energy and roads) which i s holding back development across al l sectors. Inequality remains a concern. Women and girls and young people o f both sexes continue to be socially excluded. Most recently, sharp increases in food prices have exacerbated incidences o f poverty, particularly amongst the young urban and peri-urban populations. Unless economic growth can be sustained and employment opportunities increased there are clear dangers that progress made so far w i l l be undermined.

4. While the objectives o f the FY2006-09 CAS remain relevant and aligned with the Government’s development strategy, the lending program has been adjusted due to lower than anticipated IDA resources. Furthermore core challenges such as l imited capacity within the Government and the consequent reduced effectiveness o f development assistance programs, particularly those requiring an extended change o f policy coordination and inter-sectoral harmonization - w i l l take some time to resolve. The peaceful transition o f Government in a post-conflict environment i s not to be underestimated in terms o f promise for long-term political and social stability.

11. COUNTRY CONTEXT

A. Recent Developments

5. Political Developments. On September 17, 2007 Ernest Bai Koroma of the Al l Peoples Congress Party (APC) won the elections to become President of Sierra Leone, defeating the candidate o f the incumbent Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) in a second round ballot. There was broad consensus among international observers that the elections were free, fair and credible. Local council elections took place peacefully on July 5,2008. Civilian rule, has always been either under APC or SLPP, with the APC ruling for a 25 year period from 1967 to 1992 and the SLPP ruling from 1961-1967 and from 1996-2007. These periods of civilian rule were interspersed with various military regimes which held power for a total of 11 years. Recent political events provide good reason for optimism that a pluralistic democratic system i s now well established.

6. Economic Developments. Sierra Leone’s strong recovery, which began in 2000, continued for an eighth unbroken year into 2007 when real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by an estimated 6.8 percent based on solid agricultural and mining production and buoyant construction and service sectors. However, i t i s anticipated that the momentum of post-conflict recovery may begin to dissipate. Consumer price inflation reverted to double digits, increasing to 13.8 percent year-on-year in December 2007, driven by higher food and petroleum prices.

7. Sierra Leone has maintained macroeconomic stability, aided by fiscal discipline and average aid inflows equivalent to 12 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but the macroeconomic situation remains fragile due to weak domestic revenue mobilization and vulnerability to exogenous shocks, particularly from volatile aid flows and external price shocks such as those for food and fuel. The second review of the IMF Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) had to be postponed due to budget and macro- economic issues; i t was completed on July 7,2008 and opens the way for budget support.

8. Fiscal revenues and grants in 2007 were 9.3 percentage points lower than programmed largely due to shortfalls in external budget support as donors adopted a cautious stance in part due to insufficient fiduciary controls by Government. Challenges with regards to budgeting and lower domestic revenue attributed to a slow-down in business activity around the election period and various ad-hoc tax waivers had represented the primary obstacles to achieving PRGF prior conditions but progress i s now seen in these areas.

9. The biggest contributors to GDP have been agriculture and services. The agricultural sector recorded strong expansion amidst increasing Government technical assistance and investment in infrastructure.

10. Mining output has been driven by the resumption of rutile, bauxite and industrial diamond mining, supported b y higher private investment. Diamond output increased since 2005, and international prices continue to be favorable. Rutile and bauxite production, which resumed in the first quarter o f 2006 increased in 2007. Gold output more than quadrupled in the years 2005 to 2007.

11. Construction had represented an important contributor to growth immediately after the war; however the collapse o f electricity output in 2005 resulted in a significant shrinkage in output, recently exacerbated by shortfalls in the supply of water. With the completion o f the Bumbuna Hydro-Electric Dam anticipated for 2009, electricity supply should rise to meet levels o f demand. Manufacturing performance has been weak since 2005, and has not generally been a significant driver o f GDP growth.

12. Social Developments. Poverty i s heavily concentrated in the rural and other urban areas outside Freetown. Roughly 70 percent o f the population l ived below the poverty line in 2004. The proportion below the poverty line in Freetown in 2003/04 was estimated at 15 percent, compared to 79 percent in the rural areas and 70 percent in other urban areas. Underemployment i s a problem. At age 20-24, three o f every ten young men are neither formally employed nor in school. The problem i s especially acute in urban areas. Complaints about rapidly rising food and fuel prices are a growing concern.

13. Debt Sustainability. In December 2006, Sierra Leone reached the Completion Point under the Enhanced HIPC initiative and, in so doing, also gained additional relief

6

Page 10: FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY · United Nations High Commission for Refugee United Nations Children Fund ... Introduction ... coordination and inter-sectoral harmonization - will take some

under the MDRI. Under the enhanced HIPC relief i s equal to 81.4 percent o f the country’s outstanding (foreign) external debt as o f end-2000 (US$675.2 mi l l ion in NPV terms)’. Debt relief provided under MDRI w i l l reduce the debt stock by US$556.2 million, in addition to relief received from the three institutions under the HIPC Initiative. MDRI debt relief (net o f HIPC assistance) would lead to nominal debt service savings o f US$609.9 mi l l ion on debt owed to IDA, the IMF and the African Development Fund.

14. Under the HIPC Initiative, bilateral agreements have been signed with al l Paris Club creditors. Agreements on the delivery o f the HIPC relief are s t i l l pending with certain official creditors outside the Paris Club. Debt relief f rom the international community helped decrease Sierra Leone’s public sector nominal external debt from 145.9 percent o f GDP at end-2005 to 32.1 percent o f GDP at end-2007. No new debt relief i s assumed beyond the buy-back o f the external commercial debts that i s expected to take place in late 2009, fol lowing the HIPC common reduction factor US$176.5 mi l l ion in debt would be extinguished, wi th US$40.3 mi l l ion in obligations remaining.

15. A new PRSP i s under preparation and the Government has stated that i t w i l l be focused on economic growth for poverty reduction. Consultations have been taking place and a final version i s expected to be ready during Autumn 2008, followed b y a Consultative Group meeting in early 2009.

111. PROGRESS TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING THE CAS

A. Introduction

16. The CAS i s organized around the three pillars o f (i) Governance, Decentralization and Public Financial Management: (ii) Sustainable Growth, Food Security and Jobs Creation and (iii) Human Development.

B. Progress towards CAS Outcomes

17. Progress towards CAS outcomes has been mixed. CAS implementation suffered due to the fact that fewer IDA resources were available than originally estimated at inception stage. Furthermore, l imited capacity in Line Ministries affected the implementation o f programmes. Finally, political attention was redirected towards national elections in 2007 which reduced the already scarce institutional capacity o f the government.

18. Lack o f clarity in the CAS monitoring framework has hampered the objective assessment o f progress. The CAS strategy was developed around 26 outcomes with a large number o f indicators and milestones established to measure these. I t i s now apparent that the CAS results framework was too complex, contains some inconsistencies in terms o f the results terminology as wel l as a number o f indicators that are not easily

The net present value (NPV) of debt i s the discounted sum of all future debt service obligations (interest 1

and principal).

measurable. Hence, while reporting on progress against the original CAS outcomes, the results framework i s being simplified and clarified to allow a more effective monitoring and evaluation o f success going forward (see Appendix II).

19. Notwithstanding the various challenges to implementation and monitoring, there has been some progress towards achieving the CAS outcomes. Around 30 percent o f the 26 CAS outcomes are assessed as being on-track, the same number are assessed as being off-track, while most outcomes show either mixed or delayed progress (or can not be assessed at this time). Assessment for each pillar includes the following:

20. Pillar/Priority 1: Governance, Decentralization and Public Financial Management, has shown good progress in many areas, but i s yet to achieve al l CAS targets.

21. Government has enacted key legislation to support the decentralization process and important responsibilities have been devolved to district councils. Transparency o f allocation i s maintained through an allocation formula, which i s public. Local councils now have a greater role in basic education, primary health care, water supply, and feeder roads. Access and citizen satisfaction with primary education and health improved between 2005 and 2007. A large number o f community sub-projects has been implemented as part o f strengthening local initiatives. Public Financial Management has been strengthened through the introduction of modern budgeting and accounting systems. New and better budgeting legislations and regulations are now in place. Most ministries and agencies now prepare annual procurement plans. Government has adopted a new Chart o f Accounts and requires donors to use i t for regular reporting.

22. However, some important CAS outcomes are unlikely to be achieved. Government’s ability to attract and retain skilled staff continues to be highly constrained, wi th consequences for efficiency and capacity, contributing also to less than targeted progress in auditing and procurement as wel l as the establishment o f effective financial management processes. Sector strategies for selected MDAs are close to completion but have fallen behind schedule while empowerment o f local government has not resulted in attainment o f desired increases in some sectors (such as agricultural extension).

23. Focusing on fiscal decentralization and empowerment, and on improving transparency, effectiveness and accountability, the Bank has provided support toward this pillar through the Institutional Reform and Capacity Building Project and the National Social Action Project, as wel l as budget support (GRGG I and 11). Analytical support has been provided through Poverty assessments, Public Expenditure Reviews, Public Financi a1 M a n agemen t studies , Youth Employment Studies , e tc .

24. The revised results matrix reduces the number o f CAS outcomes for this pillar from 17 to 2, focusing on local government empowerment and improved transparency and effectiveness at central government. The coverage i s broadly maintained, wi th many o f the original outcomes retained as indicators.

25. PillarPriority 2: Sustainable Growth, Food Security and Jobs Creation. Progress has been mixed. Government has been largely successful in maintaining macroeconomic stability with GDP growth sustained between 6 and 7 percent throughout the CAS period; however, the core CAS objective o f prudent fiscal management has been severely undermined by contracts for energy supply and debt reduction outside o f the budget. IMF PRGF has progressed intermittently and i s now back on track. After a slow start, progress has now been made on removal o f administrative barriers to growth (reflected in the latest “Doing Business” indicators). Agriculture has shown significant growth in recent years, albeit f rom very low, post-war basis and exports in some crops have recommenced. Mining output has continued to grow, wi th the beginning o f a shift f rom artisanal to commercial mining activities. And progress i s finally being made on strengthening the financial sector, including through a new financial sector strategy, wi th support from the Bank group.

26. Food-poverty and unemployment remain pervasive, wi th little reduction in unemployment. Growth in agricultural output remains highly constrained by continued lack o f road access. While the CAS expected to contribute to an increase in power generation, the early years saw a decrease and a virtual collapse in the sector; the long term strategy for increased generation remains valid but progress has been hampered by weak implementation and sector governance. An emergency power operation has only recently restored some grid generation and tariffs remain below the level required for sustainability, particularly as technical challenges may delay generation o f power at the Bumbuna facility until mid 2009.

27. Bank assistance has come through support in the Infrastructure Development Project (Transport), the Power and Water Project, the Bumbuna Hydropower Safeguards Project and ongoing support for N A C S A under the National Social Action Program and, more recently the Rural PSD project, as wel l as various ESW programs, such as the Diagnostic Trade Integration Study. The provision o f electricity in Freetown i s one very visible measure o f progress in this f ield while the reduction in poverty on the basis o f certain indicators points to broader progress. Planned support to improved governance in mining, through a planned Mining Sector Technical Assistance Project, was delayed until FY09.

28. In the revised results matrix, the number o f outcomes for this pillar has been reduced from 6 to 4, consolidating the enabling environment themes around a single investment climate outcome and focusing indicators on areas which w i l l directly be influenced by Bank programmes.

29. PillarPriority 3: Human Development. Progress has been mixed. A significant number o f schools and clinics have been rehabilitated after the war, and are now providing services. Access to primary education has increased and 70 percent o f primary and junior secondary schools reach basic operational level. A new education sector strategy i s under implementation and has received support f rom EFA-FTI. Health care has improved, but remains short o f the targets established in the CAS. Access to a primary health center within 5 km has increased to 58 percent immunization levels, use

9

Page 13: FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY · United Nations High Commission for Refugee United Nations Children Fund ... Introduction ... coordination and inter-sectoral harmonization - will take some

o f treated bednets and treatment o f TB have al l improved, but only targets for TB cases cured and HIV/AIDS prevalence among youth are l ikely to achieve CAS objectives.

30. The poverty headcount has fallen by 5 percent between 2005 and 2007 (although the recent food price increases may have reversed that progress). Government budget allocations to education and health are now around 20 percent and 40 percent respectively, a significant increase. However, budgetary limitations in 2007 resulted in significant cuts in real transfers to these sectors. The country lingers at or near the bottom in HDI indicators, and the effects o f the c iv i l war s t i l l exert their influence.

31. Bank support has come through the Health Sector Reconstruction & Development project, the ongoing Rehabilitation o f Basic Education project, the H IV /A IDS Response Project, community driven development through the National Social Action Project and various Trust funded activities such as the Freetown Water Supply Rehabilitation Trust Fund and the Reproductive and Child Health project as well as through poverty reduction expenditures financed through budget support. Achievements in this f ield have included the significant increase in primary school enrollment, especially o f girls and the success in limiting prevalence o f tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

32. The revised results matrix maintains the same CAS outcomes but has been simplified to retain only those indicators which are measurable and have baseline data.

33. Overall Assessment: Proportionately the sector reflecting the most significant deviation f rom CAS objectives i s Pillar 11, Sustainable Growth, Food Security and Jobs Creation, with almost half the outcomes off-track, possibly reflecting the l imited capacity in Government given that this i s the pillar most dependent upon coordinated policy formulation and implementation. CAS outcomes sought under Pillar I (Governance, Decentralization and Public Financial Management) and Pillar I11 (Human Development) may have lent themselves more easily to direct intervention f rom development partners. In as much that economic growth in Sierra Leone has in fact met or exceeded expectations over the CAS period i t may be the case that Growth Pillar CAS objectives were too ambitious in their targets; equally growth may have been more inclusive i f more CAS objectives had been achieved.

34. In order to allow a more effective monitoring and evaluation o f success, the CAS results framework has been simplified and clarified. The revised CAS results framework i s presented in Appendix 11. The number o f CAS outcomes has been reduced from 26 to 8. Results measurements for which there was no data or unclear targets have been eliminated. An attempt has also been made to ensure that al l indicators are clearly defined and baselines and targets are available.

C. IDA Program

35. The small number o f IDA operations in addition to the l imited information available through the CAS results monitoring process have provided few opportunities for responding proactively to sectors in which targeted CAS outcomes are at risk. As discussed in more detail below certain additional operations, notably the Food Price

10

Page 14: FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY · United Nations High Commission for Refugee United Nations Children Fund ... Introduction ... coordination and inter-sectoral harmonization - will take some

Crisis Grant and trust fund operations such as the Education for All Fast Tract Initiative and the Reproductive and Chi ld Health project are assisting in ensuring that the CAS targets are being attained in the areas o f social protection, education and health while the Institutional Reform and Capacity Building project i s reinforcing the progress towards governance and decentralization.

36. The lending program has largely followed the CAS intentions, but with adjustments to reflect the availability o f IDA resources and the need for additional financing in some projects. This led to the postponement o f some planned lending activities and a rethink for some others. Furthermore, price increases (partly resulting f rom higher global fuel and food prices) and cost overruns have made i t necessary to provide additional financing to three operations. The amount for the Rural Private Sector Development Project was increased from US$28 to US$30 million. The Health Sector Reconstruction Project received an additional US$8 million, and the Infrastructure Development Project (Transport) received an additional US$ 1 1 million. A Development Policy Support (GRGG2) US$10 million and the Mining TA project were postponed until FY09, the former in conjunction with initiatives to improve transparency in fiscal management and reporting and the latter, which has also been modified to have less in consulting and more in capacity building, to focus more in economic growth and employment generation (this project may be subsumed into a regional Mining project).

37. During the current CAS period, IDA has approved five financing operations for a total o f approximately US$103 million, fully utilizing available IDA 14 resources. Of this amount slightly more than half has been for infrastructure, thirty percent for rural private sector development, ten percent for health and ten percent as budget support.

38. Including these recent projects, other than the budget support which has fully disbursed and closed (US$lOm), the Sierra Leone portfolio as of August 30, 2008 consists of 8 IDA operations for total commitments of US$240.62 million as well as two operations totaling US$7 million funded by the Global Food Crisis Program Trust Fund. About forty percent of the portfolio focuses on infrastructure, forty percent on human development, ten percent on rural private sector development and ten percent on public sector and governance. As of August 2008, US$123 million, about f ifty percent of commitments, remain undisbursed.

39. While not formally part of the CAS at the planning stage, IDA has come to make significant use of trust fund resources including US$25 million for decentralization from a trust fund provided by DFID and the EU, US$10 million for water provided by DFID, as well as US$30 million from the Africa Catalytic Growth Fund (ACGF) for the Reproductive and Child Health Project, and US$15 million for Education from EFA-FTI. In addition, smaller t rus t fund grants allow engagement in community driven development (e.g. CHYAO, Gates Foundation). The recent Food Price Crisis Response operations are financed from a trust fund provided from IBRD surplus. Bank executed trust fund financing i s increasingly used to support AAA work within the CAS program, such as the support from the FIRST Initiative for the financial sector reform strategy.

40. An ambitious program o f AAA activities has been executed. I t has been broadly the case that ESW activity has been strongest in the areas in which lending activity has been most challenged, notably related to Pillar I1 Sustainable Growth, Food Security and Jobs Creation. The program has broadly fulf i l led the scope o f what was planned under the CAS although there has been some slippage between years. Activities can be divided into four main categories:

(a) broad-based economic research which seeks to inform a sector dialogue (such as the Poverty Report, the Disability Policy Note, and the Youth Employment Study),

(b) studies which throw light onto areas which may be suitable for fol low up assistance (such as the Hydro PPP Case Study, the ROSC on Accounting and Auditing and the Telecom Sector Reform study),

(c) those sector studies which are expected to identify specific reform activities suitable for support through IDA operations (such as the Diagnostic Trade Integrated Survey, the Technical and Financial Review o f NPA, the A M U C F T assessment or the Financial Sector Assessment Programme), and

(d) those studies which are intended to guide Government in undertaking core activities (such as the PFM Performance Report, the Decentralization Impact Study and the Education CSR).

41. After the 2007 elections, the Bank joined the other budget support donors (AfDB, DFID & EC) in producing a comprehensive set of policy notes for the consideration of the incoming government.

Portfolio Management

42. Overall, Portfolio performance i s marginally satisfactory. As the portfolio has grown and matured over the last few years, the quality has deteriorated, and the percentage of projects at risk now stands at 50 percent, representing 4 out o f the total of 8 IDA projects. Two projects are rated as problem projects (the Health Sector Reconstruction and Development S I L and Rural and Private Sector Development SIL), and two (the Bumbuna Hydroelectric Environmental & Social Management S I L and the Power and Water SIL) are considered potential problem projects. As of end of FY08, all of these projects have suffered from lack of counterpart funding and weak M&E systems. Other challenges have included procurement issues and slow disbursement.

D. IFC and MIGA Programs

43. IFC i s on course in supporting the country's post-conflict economic recovery through the Conflict Affected Countries Strategy. IFC i s working through FIAS (jointly supported by MIGA) and PEP Africa to continue to improve the investment climate through a joint program with U K ' s DFID focused on improving the legal and regulatory environment.

44. IFC i s providing support to the Commonwealth Business Council in organizing this year Private Sector Forum scheduled for the last quarter of the year. IFC i s working with the World Bank to support the Bank of Sierra Leone in setting up a Credit Reference Bureau.

45. In March 2007, under the Global Trade Finance Program, I F C signed credit facilities with three banks (Sierra Leone Commercial Bank, Rokel Commercial Bank and Guaranty Trust Bank). In June 2007, IFC announced an investment in the telecommunications sector in Celtel Sierra Leone, a subsidiary o f Celtel International B.V. The investment comprises a US$25 mi l l ion loan for IFC’s account and a further B Loan o f US$25 million, to help improve the operations o f the company and enhance the general quality o f mobile access in the country.

46. With the signing o f the Establishment Agreement, IFC i s better positioned to implement i t s country strategy and support the government through advisory services and private sector investments in priority sectors such mining, agribusiness, tourism and infrastructure.

47. MIGA’s portfolio in Sierra Leone currently consists o f one project signed in FY07, in support o f the country’s services sector, wi th an existing gross exposure o f US$5.0 million. Contracts for this investment were signed under the Agency’s Small Investment Program (SIP). The project, financed by investors f rom the United Kingdom, provides container scanning services and port security compliance advice for the ports o f Nitti and Kissy (Freetown). The project helps the country comply wi th international security requirements and facilitates trade to and from Sierra Leone with international markets. Without this project, much o f the country’s exports would be denied access to foreign port facilities.

IV. THE WAY FORWARD

A. The final year of the CAS

48. This Progress Report i s presented with only eight months left o f the CAS period, and coincides with the preparation o f a new PRSP, to be completed later in 2008, followed by a C G meeting. Work on a new CAS wil l start in earnest once the new PRSP has been completed. Given the challenges faced in the current CAS, including those necessitated b y IDA limitations, certain adjustments need to be considered for the final year. These adjustments draw on the conclusions o f a Country Portfolio Review completed last year, which identified l imited Government capacity and complex project designs as key challenges.

49. Whi le budget support w i l l resume after one year’s break, the environment for this instrument i s vulnerable in a l ow capacity country, recently out o f conflict. There i s also a felt need to better protect funding for core poverty reduction activities, such as health, education and water, including transfers to local councils, which now have frontline responsibilities for such deliveries. This devolution to local councils, furthermore, needs to be better reflected in the way support to core public services i s delivered. The plan for the final CAS year is, to explore the possibility o f a more robust Basic Services approach, which would in part address the delivery o f health and education previously planned in the CAS, and in part act as a complement to general budget support. This choice i s

The Basic Services approach i s s t i l l under discussion with regards to amount and to modality.

15

Page 19: FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY · United Nations High Commission for Refugee United Nations Children Fund ... Introduction ... coordination and inter-sectoral harmonization - will take some

guided by the objectives o f simplifying Bank operations (and so reducing the burden o f implementation place on Government) and seeking to lift Sierra Leone o f f the bottom of the human development index. The objective i s to establish a more comprehensive and coherent portfolio approach to ensure that results are delivered. Preparatory work i s now in progress wi th a view to taking a Basic Services operation, covering 2 years, to the Board toward the end o f the CAS period.

Mining Sector TA Project Second Government Reform & Growth Grant Debt Buy Back Operation Phase I Public Financial Management Reform Project Basic Services I (covering 2 years)

50. With capacity constrains at the forefront o f the CPR conclusions, i t i s planned to take a Public Financial Management Project to the board in FY09. Whi le the amount f rom IDA i s lower than indicated in the CAS (US$4 mi l l ion vs. US$13 mi l l ion in the CAS), this reflects significant co-financing from E C and DfID, taking the whole project to US$20 million; if the implementation arrangements are conducive, this project may be combined with the proposed operation for Basic Services. The delayed Mining Sector Technical Assistance Project may go to the Board in FY09 although possibilities of subsuming this into a regional mining initiative are being explored.

Amount (US$ M)

U S $ T B D US$10 US$O.9 US$4 US$15

51. In addition, following the HIPC/MDRI completion, a debt buy back operation i s under preparation and may be ready for Board presentation in late FY09. The exploratory phase has been initiated with a view to determining the legal position wi th regards to various significant outstanding debts, the decision to move forward to a financing operation w i l l be informed b y the findings in this init ial phase.

Table 6: Indicative Lending Program, FY09

52. The AAA program for the remainder o f the CAS period partly reflects the graduation from post-conflict status with a greater emphasis on private sector development and the growth pillar within the PRSP. This includes work on a financial sector strategy (Financial Sector Development Plan, TA) and decentralization (Decentralization Impact Study, ESW). In order to support government budget execution and to help the Bank better understand the opportunities and constraints facing a potential Basic Services operation, a Public Expenditure Review w i l l also be undertaken.

B. Managing Risks

53. These r isks have materialized in various degrees and the Bank’s program continues to support mitigation efforts.

The r isks highlighted in the FY06-09 CAS remain valid.

54. In spite o f impressive presidential and parliamentary elections last year, followed by credible and peaceful local elections this year - both o f which confounded quite pessimistic predictions o f violence - Sierra Leone remains a fragile country in a fragile neighborhood. In addition, drug trafficking f rom Latin America to Europe via West Africa has become an added risk issue, with some security experts labeling i t as very serious. And while economic growth has been good, and in some ways impressive, as has economic management, i t remains fragile in the face o f global events, such as o i l and food price increases.
