Ten years after civil war, and in the aftermath of the global crises, the key challenge for Sierra Leone in the area of social protection is to move from ad hoc emergency interventions towards a national social protection system. The assessment reviews current programs in light of risks and vulnerabilities faced by Sierra Leoneans during different stages of life. It concludes that to achieve the vision of the Social Protection Policy, it will be necessary to (a) fill program gaps while eliminating fragmentation; (b) develop effective mechanisms to maximize the poverty impact of interventions; and (c) strengthen institutional and coordination arrangements.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGEDALLOCATION OF RESOURCESASSISTANCE PROGRAMSASSISTANCE STRATEGYASYLUM SEEKERSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH TRANSFERCHILD ABUSECHILD HEALTHCHILD LABORCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATESCHILD PROTECTIONCHILD SUPPORTCIVIL WARCONDITIONAL CASHCONFLICTCONTRIBUTORY PENSIONSCOPING STRATEGIESCROWDING OUTDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIETDIETSDISABILITYDISABILITY ISSUESDISABILITY PENSIONSDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SHOCKSELDERLYEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY RELIEFEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROMOTIONEXTERNAL FINANCINGEXTERNAL RESOURCESEXTERNAL SHOCKSFAMILIESFAMILY SUPPORTFEE WAIVERSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFISCAL CRISISFOOD AIDFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD SECURITYFOOD-FOR-WORKFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONFREE HEALTHGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT HEALTHHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CLINICSHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH PROGRAMHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHIVHOMELESSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN RIGHTSHYGIENEILLITERACYINCOMEINCOME SECURITYINEQUALITYINFANTINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFORMATION SYSTEMINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL SUPPORTINSURANCE MECHANISMSINSURANCE SCHEMESIRONJOBLESSLAWSLEAN SEASONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFE INSURANCELIMITED CAPACITYLIVE BIRTHSLOW BIRTH WEIGHTMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMALNUTRITIONMALNUTRITION AMONG CHILDRENMARKET WAGEMATERNAL MORTALITYMEANS TESTMEDICAL SERVICESMEDICAL SUPPLIESMENTAL HEALTHMICRO-INSURANCEMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMINIMUM INCOMEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITYMOTHERMOTHER TO CHILDMOTHER TO CHILD TRANSMISSIONMUTUAL INSURANCENATIONAL SECURITYNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUTRITION INTERVENTIONSNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL SUPPORTOLD AGEORPHANSPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTSPATIENTSPEACEPENSIONSPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPERSONS WITH DISABILITIESPOORPOOR FAMILIESPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE CAPITALPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPROGRAM COVERAGEPROGRESSPROMOTING GENDER EQUALITYPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPROTECTION SYSTEMPROTECTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSREFUGEE PROGRAMSREFUGEESRESOURCE LIMITATIONSRESPONSE TO CRISESRISK MANAGEMENTSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL LUNCHESSCHOOL MATERIALSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSELECTION CRITERIASELF-INSURANCESERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSEXUAL ABUSESEXUAL HARASSMENTSEXUAL VIOLENCESEXUALITYSHOCKSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL INSTABILITYSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL PENSIONSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RISKSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECTORSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL TRANSFERSSOCIAL WELFARESTAGES OF LIFESTISSUPPLEMENTARY FEEDINGSUPPORT PROGRAMSUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENTSUSUTARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTEACHER RATIOTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRADITIONAL FAMILYTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSUNEMPLOYMENTUNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEESUNSKILLED LABORVIOLENCEVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWAGE RATEWARWAR VICTIMSWATER RESOURCESWELFARE INDICATORSWORK PROGRAMSWORKERSWORKS PROGRAMWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG PEOPLE10.1596/18966
