Enhanced Integrated Framework Fund Management (Award ID 00050275)
The Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF): The First World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference, held in 1996. recognized that the Least Developed countries (LDCs) faced difficulties integrating into the global economy. This led to the adoption of the WTO Plan of Action for LDCs, The following year, in October 1997, the WTO convened a High Level Meeting to discuss the specific needs of LDCs and to formulate a programme to strengthen their trade capacities, including supply-side and market access capacities. The Integrated Framework for Trade Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries (the “IF”) was the outcome of that meeting. Support was offered to the IF by six multilateral agencies (IMF, ITCP UNCTAD, UNDP, World Bank, and WTO). The achievements of the IF during the early years were modest and when the six agencies met in 2000 to review progress they adopted a number of recommendations and implemented institutional changes to improve the IFs effectiveness. Two main objectives were formulated for the revamped IF: To “mainstream” (integrate) trade into the national development plans and; To assist in the coordinated delivery of trade-related technical assistance The IF is built on the principles of country ownership, partnership and the “Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness”. By the end of February 2007, 43 LDCs were at different stages of the IF process. Despite progress a number of weaknesses still remained in the IF: evaluations pointed out an implementation gap and a weak country ownership due to various factors. To that end a Task Force was established by the IF Steering Committee which was welcomed at the Hong Kong Conference, December 2005, WTO Ministers as well as an agreement on the three elements which together would constitute an enhanced IF (thereafter EIF): (i) increased, additional, predictable financial resources to implement Action Matrices; (i) strengthened in-country capacities to manage, implement and monitor the IF process; and (ii) enhanced IF governance. The Accountability Framework builds on the principles and procedures that guide the EIF to facilitate: The effective use of trade as a development tool by the LDCs. LDCs ownership of the in-country programme and projects to be funded by the EIF Including the responsibility to identify their own trade development priorities and manage trade development activities. A partnership approach, through which, in accordance with the principles, of the “Paris Declaration” donors and international agencies coordinate their response to the needs of LDCs, manage for results, LDC leadership and accept mutual accountability. Building upon these principles, the objectives EIF programme are to provide for: Increased capacity building support to LDCs throughout the EIF process, including increased financial resources, support provided to National Implementation Units (the “NIU”s), and technical assistance, training and knowledge transfer to be provided by national, regional and international implementing bodies in project delivery; Stronger governance of the IF, including collective decision making through a reconfigured Board, a strengthened Executive Secretariat, clearly defined accountability, and rigorous monitoring and evaluation. UNOPS acts as Trust Fund Manager for EIF.

Rural Renewable Energy Programme, Sierra Leone
Poor access to electricity is recognized as a constraint to long-term economic growth in Sierra Leone. The country is currently experiencing a net deficit of power and is in desperate need of new power sources. The Ministry of Energy (MOE) has developed a National Energy Policy and action plan to increase energy access and generation capacity. Part of the strategy is to tap into Sierra Leone's renewable energy resources to provide more reliable, secure electricity to rural communities and to boost'the economy. Under this programme the Governrnent of Sierra Leone engaged the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) to support a feasibility study to explore the expansion of off-grid solutions in rural areas. UNOPS was engaged to develop the Rural Renewable Energy Project study and implement it in order to increase accessibility to public services and enhance economic growth in rural communities and electrification of priority institutions, such as community health clinics, schools and agricultural business centres.

Meeting Critical Infrastructure and Technology Needs in the Parliament of Sierra Leone
In November 2017, the Government of Sierra Leone and the European Union (EU) launched a four year programme in support of the governance sector in the country. Part of the EU support to the Governance sector in Sierra Leone is aimed at strengthening the institution’s legislative capacity and to ensure that these functions are performed well. The role and effectiveness of Parliament will be strengthened through technical assistance and improved infrastructure.
The Delegation of the European Union and the Government of Sierra Leone have identified the need for refurbishment of the Parliament of Sierra Leone building. Although the building as a whole appears to be structurally sound, there are issues relating to vertical and horizontal structural cracks, roof leakages, plumbing and electrical problems and paint peeling off of the internal walls of the building due to moisture ingress and damp.
In stage 1 of the project, UNOPS conducts a technical design study for meeting critical infrastructure and technology needs in the parliament of Sierra Leone.

Freetown Disaster Preparedness
In the early hours of Monday, 14 August 2017 Freetown, Sierra Leone, was impacted by an unprecedented landslide and flooding disaster, affecting around 6,000 people of which 1,141 have been declared dead or missing. The landslide occurred following three days of heavy rains and an intense tropical storm.
UNOPS, under The World Bank funded Freetown Emergency Recovery Project (FERP) implements slope stabilization and remediation measures under Rehabilitation of Public Infrastructure and Slope Stabilization part of the project. This will include Slope Stabilization and Remediation measures, as the slopes around the landslide area retain risk of further slippage. Slope stabilization and remediation is to reduce this risk before the following rainy season.

Freetown Disaster Preparedness
Sierra Leone's geographical location, land characteristics, large number of rivers, and monsoon climate make the country susceptible to multiple natural hazards, particularly floods, wind storms, landslides, and coastal erosion. The primary cause of flooding in Sierra Leone is tropical rains, lack of urban planning and blocked drainages in urban areas and big towns.
Sierra Leone has been ranked as the third most vulnerable country in the world to the adverse effects of climate change, after Bangladesh and Guinea Bissau. In September 2015, massive floods caused by torrential rains hit the capital, Freetown, causing serious damage, particularly to people living in slum areas, and leaving more than 3,000 people displaced. In August 2017, three days of heavy rainfall again resulted in flooding across Freetown and a led to a massive landslide in the Regent area, which left over 1,200 dead and missing, and over 6,000 people displaced.
Freetown has enormous potential as a city, but continues to face severe challenges across all sectors and remains at high risk of natural disasters. UNOPS has identified 24 especially vulnerable communities across Freetown and aims to build safe infrastructure to support resilience of the chosen vulnerable communities to floods and water rising. These infrastructure works include various bridges, drainage systems and additional slope stabilization.

National Safe Blood Services in Sierra Leone
Access to safe blood transfusion is especially important in countries with very high anemia
prevalence. However, there are no comprehensive Blood Transfusion Services in Sierra Leone. Rather, only fragmented and inadequate hospital-based blood banks/refrigeration. To address this critical gap in health service delivery the Ministry of Health and Sanitation has proposed a programme to establish centers of excellence for Safe Blood Services nation-wide.
The overall programme is scheduled to be executed in three phases. The first phase will cover
blood services at Kerry Town and national activities, which include management of the blood
services, technical assistance, and mobilization of blood products from donors. The second phase
covers work on the four regional centers and blood services at Kenema, Makeni, Bo and Port Loko. The third phase involves strengthening safe blood services at district hospitals and BEMONC
facilities.
The outcome of the project is the provision of safe blood transfusion services especially to
pregnant women and children under five years.The specific objective of Phase 1 is to put the Kerry town Blood Service Center into full operation with technical support from UNOPS.
