Joint external evaluation of IHR core capacities of Sierra Leone

Overview

Sierra Leone is the first country in the African Region to conduct a second JEE, and the third country in the world to use the third edition of the JEE tool. This demonstrates leadership, strong commitment and confidence in the process on the part of the government. The country is commended for the tremendous success recorded over the past few years in the health sector, and especially in the animal health sector, where Sierra Leone moved from a 32% score in 2018 to a 51% score rating in 2021.
