Extract

Several decades of poor governance in Sierra Leone and the more recent civil conflict have left Sierra Leone's public sector and economic situation in a precarious position. Against this backdrop there is a desperate need to build capacity for public sector management at both central and local levels. Kelvin Smith, of The National Archives (TNA) Records Management Department, has made three recent visits to Sierra Leone as part of a programme to establish a Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) and to implement a Records Management Improvement Programme. TNA has for many years worked closely with the International Records Management Trust on projects such as this.
