The Ebola crisis
In 2014, the Ebola crisis hit Sierra Leone. A country of only 6.2 million people had more than 14,000 cases and lost close to 4,000 lives to this deadly disease. Ebola caused deep economic and social disruption. Most children were eating less, learning less, and facing increased violence and exploitation. More than twelve thousand children were left orphaned.
Addressing the challenges of learning loss, out-of-school child vulnerability, and rebuilding the system would prove to be the most pressing issues that the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) and its development partners needed to focus on in order to not only protect the education system, but also build sustainable structures to ensure a resilient system ready to face future
