Cordaid has been working in Sierra Leone since the early 90s. Currently, we are working on health care and sustainable livelihoods.
Health care
We work on strengthening the health system with innovative approaches to a sustainable reduction in teenage pregnancy. Our approach includes working with boys and men.
Sustainable livelihoods
We further develop the private sector by supporting small and large businesses with microfinance and investments. We also increase resilience to disasters and risks in the face of climate change, environmental degradation and conflict.
In Pujehun, Kenema and Bombali Cordaid supports teenage pregnancy reduction projects and the Private Sector Development programme supports entrepreneurs in and around Bo, Makeni and Freetown. In Bombali and Western Area Urban, we assist communities to become more resilient to disasters.
For the Teenage Pregnancy SAN Project our partners are Planned Parenthood Association Sierra Leone, Christian Brothers, and Stop Aids Now (SAN).
For the Private Sector Development programme, our partners are the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), and the Freetown Business School.
For the resilience programme, our partners are Catholic Relief Services, Freetown City Council and Action for Advocacy and Development Sierra Leone.
