A Program Operational Strategy has been validated for the period 2018-2020 with the willingness to increase the level of activity (including new projects in Liberia with a re-opening of Monrovia office as soon as projects are funded) through projects in various topics.

YOUR PROFILE :
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POSITION : Security – The overall situation in Sierra Leone is calm, however there are some factors that should be considered from a security perspective. In particular:
Travel – The Mano River programme is currently operating in Sierra Leone. The position is based in Freetown but some visits to the Sierra Leone bases in the Provinces and in Liberia (Monrovia) would be expected. Living conditions – The office and the expatriate’s houses/apartments are comfortable. The power supply is erratic but all houses have generators and air conditioning and drinking water is supplied. Freetown is less developed that the main capitals in West Africa but most items can be found in the supermarkets and markets. People are very friendly and there are some lovely local beaches which are relatively easy to access.
