Security System Reform in Sierra Leone and the Role of the Office of National Security
By Brigadier General (ret.) Kellie Hassan Conteh. The Global Facilitation Network for Security Sector Reform, 2008.
Sierra Leone’s security sector has been significantly transformed since the country emerged from civil war. Intelligence offices were reformed, a National Security Council created, inter-agency coordination improved, and the security sector is generally less politicized. This transformation process helped lay the groundwork for Sierra Leone’s post-conflict return to free, fair, and safe democratic elections. [PDF]
