Sierra Leone: Project Officer

Merlin has been in Sierra Leone since 1996. Throughout the most severe parts of the civil conflict, Merlin continued to deliver uninterrupted emergency health and nutrition services to the most vulnerable populations in Kenema and in Freetown. At the height of the emergency phase Merlin was employing in excess of 400 health staff and dealing with a beneficiary population of 1.5 million people. The conflict in Sierra Leone is now officially over, with the country disarmed and under the control of the UN. Merlin currently has programmes in Kenema District, Kono District, Bo District and Tonkolili District.
