PROJECTS

• CITIZENS AWARENESS ON CORRUPTION PROJECT – – FEBRUARY 2023 TO DATE -
Corruption has long been a major impediment to the socioeconomic development of Sierra Leone. In response to this persistent issue, Pay No Bribe Animators (PaNBA) Sierra Leone, a civil society organization dedicated to combating corruption and promoting social justice, implemented the "Citizens Awareness on Corruption Project" in Makeni, Bombali District and Koidu, Kono District.
This project aimed to increase public awareness about the negative effects of corruption and empower citizens to actively participate in efforts to curb it.

• CHILD RIGHTS TO EDUCATION PROJECT - JUNE 2023 TO DATE – The Child Right to Education Project was implemented to promote the right of children to access quality education in Sierra Leone, specifically in the Districts of Makeni, Bombali District, and Koidu, Kono District. The project aimed to address the barriers preventing children, particularly girls and those from disadvantaged communities, from accessing education, including issues of corruption, exploitation, and school-based violence. The project focused on raising awareness, advocating for policy reforms, building community involvement, and monitoring the quality of education in public schools.

ENHANCING ETHICAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN PUBLIC OFFICES IN MAKENI, KONO, AND MAGBURAKA, SIERRA LEONE - OCTOBER 2023 TO DATE –
This project is dedicated to curbing corruption and social injustices. The project's primary objective is to strengthen accountability mechanisms in public institutions in Makeni, Kono, and Magburaka by increasing awareness of ethical standards, promoting transparency, and fostering a culture of accountability among public officials. The initiative aimed at addressing the widespread issue of corruption and unethical practices in public offices, which have undermined trust in public institutions. It will achieve this through capacity-building workshops, public engagements, media campaigns, and collaboration with key stakeholders, including government agencies and civil society.

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.

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.
