Enabling Economic Independence for Specially Abled Persons in Sierra Leone (Persons with Disabilities) - PWDs

Status: Open - Determining Eligibility
Country: Sierra Leone
Requestor(s): Lifeline Nehemiah Projects
Synopsis of Issues Raised:

The requester alleges that construction of a skills center associated with the UNDP-supported project “Enabling Economic Independence for Specially Abled Persons in Sierra Leone” is taking place on land legally owned by Lifeline Nehemiah Projects, despite an existing court injunction prohibiting such activities. According to the request for investigation, construction proceeded with the presence of armed police and the use of force, resulting in alleged serious harm, including the deaths of two infants, the arrest and assault of community members, and the loss of the only recreational space used by children and youth from surrounding schools and communities. The requester asserts that these actions amount to an unlawful land seizure, raise concerns related to human rights violations, and may be inconsistent with UNDP’s Social and Environmental Standards.
