Security System Reform in Sierra Leone and the Role of the Office of National Security
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
[PDF] 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 security is generally less politicized. Among many government institutional reforms, this transformation process helped lay the groundwork for free, fair and safe democratic elections in 2007.Focus on Elections and Security

Equitable and dependable security is essential to maintain an electorate’s confidence and commitment to democratic contests, which sometimes heighten tensions. Advanced planning, training, and extensive coordination are just as critical to free, fair, and safe elections as appropriate deployments of security personnel.
