66. The Unreached Peoples Prayer Profiles What are their beliefs? The Susu in sierra leone are almost entirelyMuslim, and Islam dominates their religious culture and practices. http://www.ksafe.com/profiles/p_code6/1778.html

Prayer Profile The Susu of Sierra Leone Most of the Susu live in Guinea , West Africa. However, other smaller tribes are also located in the neighboring countries of Sierra Leone and Senegal . They moved to their present location after 1725, when the Fulani attempted to dominate them and managed to convert them to Islam. Today, about 113,000 Susu live in the Kambia, Bombali, and Port Loko districts of Sierra Leone. The Susu language, called Soso or Susu, serves as a major trade language in the region and is almost indistinguishable from the language of the Yalunka. This close linguistic relationship supports the theory that the Susu and the Yalunka were once members of the same tribe in the Fouta Djallon region of Guinea. They were separated by Fula invaders, who forced the Susu to travel southward, absorbing other peoples in the process. Today, young Susu boys seem to be disillusioned with both Islam and socialism. Many have moved to the urban areas where poverty and idleness are serious problems. What are their lives like?

Cet article, qui repose sur une recherche de terrain, traite des paysans et des ouvriers créoles vivant dans les villages surplombant Freetown. L'auteur s'attache à étudier plusieurs aspects de la vie villageoise créole, en particulier, l'évolution des conditions économiques, la mobilité ascensionnelle des paysans et des ouvriers créoles de la dernière génération, les relations avec les non-Créoles, l'institution du « tutorat » et la notion de « créolisation » des peuples indigènes. L'enquête révèle que ces différents domaines, qui englobent de larges secteurs de la vie créole, ont été négligés par la plupart des auteurs en raison de l'attention exclusive qu'ils accordent aux cadres et à la classe dominante créoles.

Building a Culture of Peace in Sierra Leone T he Canadian Friends of Sierra Leone will implement the second phase of their Culture of Peace project, entitled "PEACE THROUGH EDUCATION", during 2003. Building on the success A s of January 2003, the focus of the "Culture of Peace" program will shift to include major efforts to rebuild the primary education system since most of the schools were dismantled or destroyed and the teachers chased away by the rebels. In addition, peace building training will be expanded to include more training in community organization so that the communities will become more self sustaining and aware of their rights and responsibilities and thus be better able to fight the root causes of conflict, poverty, corruption, illiteracy, discrimination and unemployment. Finally there will be a continued effort to alleviate poverty by supporting community and business ventures that will increase the net income of the population. E ach Sierra Leone partner is developing projects in the 15 communities where they are working. These projects will meet the specific needs of that community as identified and supported by the members of that community. The end result will be 15 strong, self reliant, well organized communities, able to function effectively without relying on external aid.

Zionists Sierra Leone was founded in the 1780s as a place for freed British ex-slaves to resettle in Africa. It became a British Crown Colony in 1806, the year before the slave trade was outlawed. In January of 1792, 1,200 former American slaves who had ought on the British side in the Revolutionary War, then emigrated to Nova Scotia, where they were unable to obtain land of their own, arrived in Sierra Leone and settled in Freetown. The expenses of their voyage were paid for by the British government. They had become Christians while in North America and carried their "boisterous Christianity" with them back to Africa, defining their new culture in Christian terms, and spreading its message to all in Sierra Leone who would listen. The Settlers, as the Nova Scotia Sierra Leonians came to be called, now fortified by a large influx of "Recaptives" Ð persons taken from captured slave ships and resettled in Sierra Leone grew into a large and vibrant Christian community. In the 1860s the Sierra Leonean community requested the aid of full-time missionary clergy from England. The Church in Sierra Leone was already lively and vibrant under the leadership of the wealthy and powerful Settler Christians. The missionaries sent out to minister to them were not infrequently their inferiors in knowledge of the Bible and Christian doctrine.

I was hiding with some girls when they found us. We were told that if we didn't come with them, they'd kill us. While I was begging them not to take me, a little boy, about 10 years old who was with them piped up "If she doesn't want to come, pass her over to me and I'll chop her hands". I agreed to go. I was raped and held there in the bush. I wanted to run away, to escape, but there was no way.

The Process of Health Reform in Sierra Leone Objective After years of neglect of its health system, Sierra Leone has had, starting in 1993, remarkable successes in health reform. As there have been few cases of health reform in Africa, a study was undertaken to examine the the experience, with particular emphasis on the process of reform ( Bruce Siegel, David Peters, Sheku Kamara, Health Reform in Africa : Lessons from Sierra Leone , World Bank Discussion Paper, forthcoming ; also Staff Appraisal Report No. 13947-SL). Impact on the ground Broadening the arena of stakeholders : Through interviews, surveys, focus groups, mass meetings, task forces, workshops and other methods, thousands of Sierra Leoneans have been involved in setting the reform agenda. The health reform effort has been remarkably transparent. Results: priorities and strategies bear reasonable resemblance to the expressed wishes of the public, and new constituencies have been created. Managing the donors : By creating their own National Health Action Plan, the Sierra Leoneans were able to establish their own agenda with donors, on their own terms. At the 1994 Social Sectors Round Table, the donor community agreed to work exclusively within the framework of the NHAP. Donor investments and assistance are being redirected, and a common set of objectives is improving the planning and monitoring for the sector. Moving to a task culture : Consultant studies early in the reform effort identified the dominant culture of the Department of Health as a 'power culture.' Confronted with this perception and the need for active decentralization, the top management decided to move towards a task culture. Precise indicators of inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes are contributing to focus on performance and are beginning to change the way staff act and interact in the Department.
