After having successfully ended its civil war in January 2002, Sierra Leone has long re-established security and has gone far into the process of restoring public services and setting the country on a strong footing for economic growth, good governance and poverty reduction. A key achievement has been the successful completion of the first poverty reduction strategy and preparations for the next. The challenge ahead is to continue the process of building on past gains through the second poverty reduction strategy. Through its Country Assistance Strategy (CAS), the World Bank is supporting Sierra Leone in its mission -- to fight poverty, promote economic development and improve living standards for the people.
