BACKGROUND AND PROBLEMS ANALYSIS
The war in Sierra Leone in the last decade brought untold suffering
to the people and the in the North the people are still suffering under
the hands of the armed combatants who will soon give up their
weapons.
On the 20
th
of December 1998 certain Association were badly
vandalized. After this date, the A.F.R.C/R.U.F occupies all the areas.
Their stories were not good to hear. Among the atrocities committed
were houses, school, and other privates and public properties, the
scared believes of the people burnt, destroyed, vandalized and
looted. The human right of the people completely disregarded.
People were killed, hand chopped off, stripped naked, force to eat
their feaces and drink their urine, flock publicly and used as labor
gang. Raping and force marriages were the other of the day.
The Alisa Women’s Farming Project (AWFP) which is and umbrella
organization of four Women’s Association in the Makarie – Gbanti
Chiefdom recognizing its role, and aware of the plight of its people
consulted with RIAP-Lunsar a local NGO operating in the chiefdom
on how to assist it people from the pending doom.
Based on the advise of RIAP-Lunsar series of sensitization meeting
and assessment were dome to ascertain the level of commitment and
the capacity of the Alisa project executive and participants as well as
the needs of the participants from the above certain findings,
suggestions and agreement were reached.
- The executive agreed that Alisa Women’s Farming Project
would work in collaboration with RIAP-Lunsar in the
implementation of the project.
- Livestock (small ruminants), which were owned by
participants, have been completely looted by the rebels during
the war.
- There is no livestock available within the communities.
- Access to livestock is limited because of lack of funds.
It is in the view of this background that the Alisa Women’s Farming
Project in collaboration with RIAP-Lunsar would intervene to
alleviate the communities’ dire needs.
The project package also serves as a means of replacement of lost
livestock. Since the farm families lack funds and alternative
resources to purchase them, this will give back livestock to the
participants who have lost everything in life.
PROJECT GOAL
The goal of the project is to improve the livestock level of 585 farm
families in five (5) communities in the MAKARIE GBANTI
CHIEFDOM, BOMBALI DISTRICT.

INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY
Alisa Women’s Farming Project has carried out similar project in the
past in the operational communities. There was a livestock bank
project, which involved over 35 cows, 45 pigs, 42 goats and 24
sheep but was destroyed by the war.
The use of RIAP-Lunsar as supervising agency and the training of
the executive and animators of AWFP will ensure an effective and
efficient delivery system. The capacity of the institution will develop
to a high level to be able to handle management of the people.
PROJECT FEASIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The people in the operational communities are peasent farmers who
have been involved in all their lives in livestock (cows, goats, sheep
and pigs). The technology is not new, it part of the way of life of the
people.
The people are familiar with the raising of cows, goats, sheep and
pigs and the breeds that would be selected and bought are suited to
the areas.
Also cows, goats, sheep and pigs are easy to raise involving little or
no cost and use of locally available materials for food and housing
which ensures continuity needs external support.
