Acknowledgements This study was made possible through the generous financial support of the Department for International Development (DFID) as part of its continued assistance to the Government and people of Sierra Leone in the fight against corruption and the overall governance restructuring and reform programme. The study team is also immensely grateful to the overall technical assistance provided by the World Bank through the expertise of Francesca Frecanatini and her assistant; their special input into the Executive Summary is particularly acknowledged. We would like to express our profound gratitude to members of the Steering Committee for the Governance and Corruption Survey for their encouragement, support and patience without which this project could not have seen a successful conclusion. In particular, the chairman of the Committee and the Co-ordinator of Governance Reform Programme, Mr. Emmanuel Osho Coker’s tremendous show of understanding and co-operation always saw the team through several hitches and constraints especially in times when it was difficult to meet set deadlines for specific tasks. We also owe special thanks and gratitude to Prof. Bob Kandeh, director of Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL), also member of the Steering Committee for providing us with the SSL’s sampling frame from which we derived our EAs for the survey. The active facilitating role played by Mr Haakawa Moseray as Project Officer was also quite helpful. Mr Emmanuel A. R. Gaima, initially part of the study team, did not only contribute to its design but also continued to provide technical advice especially on issues pertaining to governance. Special thanks also go to Mr Taziff Koroma who helped to proof-read the draft of this report. Several other people also made invaluable contribution to the successful conduct of the survey for which the study team remains quite grateful. The names of these various individuals, especially those who served as enumerators and supervisors cannot be mentioned. However, our colleagues who served as regional co-ordinators deserve a special mention – Mr Samuel J Braima, Mr Dante Bendu and Mrs Elizabeth Sam - as well as Mr F.A.S. Walker who was always available as technical back stopper and Mr Patrick Gbondo the Administrative Assistant.
