www.worldbank.org/sierraleone After having successfully ended its civil war in January 2002, Sierra Leone has reestablished security and has begun the process of restoring public services across the land. A key achievement was the successful completion of the first local government elections in 32 years in May 2004. The challenge ahead is to continue the process of rebuilding while also ensuring a good policy environment for the growth and job creation needed for its more than five million inhabitants. The World Bank is supporting Sierra Leone in this mission -- to fight poverty, promote economic development and improve living standards for the people there. For information about World Bank assistance in Sierra Leone, please refer to the Country Brief.
