Project management and monitoring and evaluation in Sierra Leone
SLONEC Consultancy manages and evaluates donor-funded and public programmes in Sierra Leone. We set up projects with inception reports and workplans, run baselines, mid-term and impact assessments, verify results, and report to donors in their formats. We work as a lead consultant, a JV partner or a subcontractor, with our Freetown team in the field.
Project management
- Inception reports, workplans, risk registers and results frameworks.
- Coordination with ministries, district councils and implementing partners.
- Financial tracking with SLONEC Accountancy, so delivery and budget reports agree.
- Staffing and logistics, including recruitment of field staff.
Monitoring and evaluation
- Baseline, mid-term and end-line studies, and impact and cumulative impact assessments.
- Formative and qualitative research: interviews, focus groups and community consultations.
- Data collection design, enumerator training and data quality checks.
- Independent verification of reported results.
- Reports to donors and boards, with clear findings and recommendations.
Working with the national system
Sierra Leone has a National Monitoring and Evaluation Agency (NaMEA), set up under the National Monitoring and Evaluation Agency Act 2024 to monitor and evaluate government and donor-funded programmes. Many programmes report against national development plan indicators. We align results frameworks with the indicators the Government and donors use.
Where the demand comes from
Donors, UN agencies, international NGOs and ministries running World Bank, AfDB, MCC and EU-funded projects regularly tender for assessments, verification and studies in Sierra Leone.
How to engage us
As lead consultant on smaller assignments, or as a JV or subcontract partner to an international firm on larger ones. See Partnering and JV bids.
