GOAL has worked in Sierra Leone since 1999. Work began as part of a post-war response and went on to see GOAL plays a central role in the 2014 Ebola response. With over 160 team members, our programme in Sierra Leone currently operates in nine of the country’s 16 districts: Western Area Urban, Western Area Rural, Tonkolili, Kambia, Kenema, Bombali, Karene, Koinadugu and Moyamba. Transitioning from our Emergency Response programme, GOAL’s work now focuses on longer-term sustainable development, including WASH, Resilient Health and Sustainable Livelihoods whilst providing emergency response support as needed to emerging crises and threats.
