Witness to Truth - Volume Three B (Chapter 8: National Vision for Sierra Leone)

National Vision for Sierra Leone

The Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) decided that looking to the past was not enough to enable it to make recommendations that were relevant, robust and would capture the imagination of Sierra Leoneans.  The future society that the recommendations are designed to achieve has to be properly understood and described; in short, it has to be “envisioned”.  This future society or “vision for a future Sierra Leone” is the prescription.  It is the kind of society we wish to build here in Sierra Leone.  It is set out in this unique chapter of the TRC report in the form of the National Vision for Sierra Leone.  The recommendations in this report aim to help translate the vision into reality.
