Abstract

This document contains the Strategic Plan for the Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children Affairs (MSWGCA), which has a cross-sectoral approach and covers a five-year period (2014- 2018). The strategy is aligned with the Government’s Agenda for Prosperity 2013–2018 and it applies at the national level. It sets out the following vision statement: a Sierra Leone where vulnerable groups and people with disability live a life of dignity, their human rights are fully respected, not discriminated against, and are active agents in their own protection. The overall objective of the strategy is to promote and protect the rights of women, children, the aged, persons with disability, and other vulnerable groups through development and review of policies, advocacy coordination with stakeholders, building capacity and effective monitoring and evaluation in order to enhance equity for all. Section 4 lays down a list of priority critical issues and challenges grouped under four strategic areas: (i) poor coordination and collaboration; (ii) weak human and resource capacity; (iii) ineffective monitoring and evaluation system; (iv) inadequate social protection.
