THE PARLIAMENTARY BUDGET OFFICE Sierra Leone District Development Fact Sheets Foreword I am delighted to present to you the Sierra Leone District Development Fact Sheets containing relevant data which relate to selected thematic sectors in Sierra Leone.
This publication aims at equipping the information base of Members of Parliament and reinforce their awareness of the progress made in key areas of governance in the country, with a view to enable them devise strategic plans for constituency and national development and ensure that they have more oversight and influence in the national policy making process.
The information contained in these fact sheets sets out statistical data at district and regional levels on demographics, distribution of population by chiefdom, population by constituency, education and literacy, economic characteristics, poverty, access to basic education by households, health, electoral statistics, food security, law and order and agriculture.
With this publication, the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) which has been recently established to provide Parliament with timely, objective and independent analysis on the budget and the economy, imprints itself as a unit ready to help improve the capacity of MPs.

This also creates a good basis as Parliament moves from its present status of being perceived as a mere rubber stamp institution to becoming a vibrant one, where decision making is based on evidence and reliable data.
It is important to underscore that improving the capacity of MPs through access to and availability of informed statistical data is essential in strengthening the role of Parliament as a Legislature.

Reforms of this nature do sometimes have far reaching implications and challenges in terms of funding from the Executive.

However, I appeal to all stakeholders to be fully committed to provide the necessary support and leadership to ensure that the overall objective of this transformation is achieved.
I would therefore like to thank all those involved in preparation of these District Fact Sheets especially the UNDP for leading this initiative, the Government of Sierra Leone, the Leadership and staff of Parliament whose continuous effort in promoting the working of this institution cannot go unrecognized.

I look forward to seeing more useful products such as this from the PBO.

Dr. Abass C. Bundu Speaker of Parliament Statement from the UNDP Resident Representative Parliaments play an important role in the management of a country’s public resources by way of its indispensable function of executing oversight over the national budget process.

This explains why it remains to be the institution of the people’s representatives who make informed policy decisions regarding matters of national development.
To ensure that Parliament is well-grounded on the diverse issues relating to the welfare of their constituents, the availability of timely, thorough and quality information becomes fundamental to its work.

In many countries today, the legislative relies on several institutions to provide them with information which equips them to hold the executive arm of government accountable, promote transparency, and uphold the laws which have been created to protect the rights and civil liberties of citizens.
Government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), donor agencies, civil society organizations, academic think tanks, to name but few, all contribute towards this process.

The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) which has been recently established with support from the UNDP in 2017, now has the task to help build the information base of Parliament, with specific reference to issues about the national budget and public finances.
It is against this backdrop that the PBO has produced this first ever, District fact sheet, which contain relevant information of indicators across selected thematic sectors in Sierra Leone.

These indicators mirror some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and they provide knowledge of the progress status of the country’s development.
With the information contained herein, it is anticipated that this document will help Members of Parliament to raise the quality of debate in the House, and use this information to understand the sector challenges, contribute to developing solutions and exercise more influence in the budget process.

Furthermore, this knowledge will enhance the quality of oversight work of Parliament of the government programmes implemented by the executive.
Going forward, the UNDP will look at other key areas for the PBO as well as the Research Department to improve the focus on development issues and for integration of SDGs in the work of Parliament.
I wish to also thank the work done by my team at Parliament especially, Lakshmi Pillai, Chief Technical Specialist, Dr. Moses Muse Sichei, Senior Economist at UNDP, Alhaji Komeh, Parliament economist recruited by UNDP for Parliament for his dedication and the Strategic Policy Unit for the support provided in preparing this document.
As the first initiative of the PBO, this document should further help MPs and other readers compare differences among districts and regions and make logical inferences which will inform collective national policy decisions.

In future, based on the demand for more information and the availability of resources, the UNDP will support the PBO in producing development fact sheets at constituency level.

This is against the backdrop that the availability of dependable and quality information, and evidence are both central in reinforcing the work of Parliament in its work of providing representation of its constituents, scrutiny and oversight of the executive.
The growing need for Members of Parliament (MPs) to be well informed about issues relating to the budget and the country’s development, and their exceptional role in relating the concerns of the people and the government requires a consistent approach in information gathering and use to inform policy decisions.
Therefore, these district fact sheets will highlight the status of the performance of selected development indicators in Sierra Leone, which relate to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agreed to in 2015 by the 193 UN member countries.

It is important to note that these 17 SDGs constitute hundreds of targets and indicators which must be monitored and tracked while countries implement their national development plans.
So far, the Ministry of Planning has taken the lead in producing a Simplified Version of the 2030 Agenda and SDGs, sensitized the public on the new goals, undertaken national debates on SDG issues, and importantly so, they have also drafted the Sierra Leone specific SDG indicators with baselines and targets.
What this means is that the need for robust implementation of government programmes and the continuous monitoring of development indicators will be critical to the actualization of the country’s development targets and the SDGs.
Being one of the three fundamental arms of government, the legislature should be able to access and make use of relevant data which will contribute towards strengthening the quality of debates in Parliament and ensuring that political deliberations are guided by statistical evidence.
These district fact sheets will therefore provide statistical information which will help MPs better exercise their role in holding the executive accountable, and in making informed decisions when scrutinizing the national budget and monitoring activities implemented by the government.

Furthermore, the data contained herein shows evidence regarding which government programmes have been effective in delivering favourable outcomes from the investment of public resources.
The report shows information for the sixteen districts in all the five regions in Sierra Leone, namely, Eastern, North Western, Northern, Southern, and Western Area.

This will ensure that readers are able to compare values of indicators for both regions and districts and assess how much progress has been made in the respective sectors.
The segments for which information have been shown in these district fact sheets include demographics, electoral statistics, education, economy, poverty, housing conditions, health, food security, law and order and agriculture.

Clearly, this document will serve as a set reference, lone exhaustive and unique information source for MPs to know their district in terms of data.
It is important to note that the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) started operations in the Parliament of Sierra Leone in December 2017, following understudy visits made by (MPs) to the Parliaments of Uganda and Ghana, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The office has been established to provide independent, objective and non-partisan analysis on the country’s budget, public finances and the economy, with a view to strengthening Parliament’s influence and oversight on the national budget process.

Going forward, it will particularly strive to engage in rigorous budget and macroeconomic analysis and research and provide Parliament with timely and quality information which is needed to aid its operations.
While the existence of the PBO is yet to be provided for by legislation, it is anticipated that an amendment to the Parliamentary Service Commission Act will bring the PBO into legal existence to enable it to do its work more effectively.
1.2 Methodology The preparation of these district fact sheets involved data collection, computation and analysis from a broad range of secondary sources including official reports, surveys, websites and administrative data of both government, and non-government institutions in Sierra Leone.
More specifically, the information captured in these factsheets were taken from the following sources: i. Sierra Leone 2015 Population and Housing Census National Analytical Report, its selected thematic reports and the reanalyzed population figures based on the new administrative divisions, all from Statistics Sierra Leone; ii.

National Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone 2017 Ward Boundary Delimitation iii.

The data in these fact sheets are reported at both district and regional levels, to allow for wide comparison across different parts of the country.

The statistics for the Eastern, Southern and Western Area regions and their districts have been captured as officially reported in the source documents.

For the North Western region, the statistics for Port Loko and Kambia districts are also shown based on the official reports of the source documents.
All the data for Karene district are assumed to be the same for Bombali except for demographic information, electoral statistics, and Law and Order indicators.

This is against the backdrop of the fact that most parts of the land area of Karene was taken from Bombali, and the performance of the selected indicators will be the same for the two districts.
Similarly, the statistics for Bombali, Koinadugu and Tonkolili districts in the Northern region are stated based on the official reports of the source documents.

This is however different for Falaba whose indicators, except for demographic information, electoral statistics, and Law and Order, are assumed to be the same for Koinadugu, as it used to be part of the latter before the new boundary delimitation exercise.
