OUR PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES AND DONORS
Monitoring of school fee subsidies on 2018-2019 Development Plan With support from the Ministry Of Basic and Senior Secondary School Education (MBSSE)) – The MBSSE and PaNBA S/L have worked closely to achieve high-quality education. A pilot phase project was launched in four districts: Bombali, Kono, Karenna and Koinadugu. This pilot project was very successful, wherein public school administrators and teachers were actively monitored to ensure the proper use of school subsidies and to oversee the school development plans. Upon completion of these exercises, many important issues were identified, ranging from improper use of government subsidies and poor state of school buildings and classrooms, poor state of water and sanitation in public schools, which were reported to the Ministry of education for prompt action.
Grant support monitoring 2020 (with funds from UNICEF Sierra Leone) – UNICEF Sierra Leone is a child-centered organization which works on different projects in Sierra Leone. PaNBA S/L was contracted to conduct independent monitoring of COVID-19 grant support given to vulnerable women, whose income was negatively impacted by the pandemic.
MONITORING 2020-2022: With funds from individual members and advisory board members, the organization has implemented projects on public examination malpractice. Another project, ‘Show Corruption a Red Card’ targeted community leaders, youth and school children to raise awareness on the negative effects of corruption to national development. It is observed by PaNBA S/L that eroded ethics among public servants is the main root of corruption and partly responsible for the lack of transparency and accountability.
