Relationship context
Overview
The Netherlands provided bilateral development assistance to Sierra Leone during its post-conflict recovery. This is a concrete area of government cooperation, though the scope and continuity of the assistance are unclear. Information about Sierra Leonean government cooperation specifically directed toward the Netherlands is insufficient to assess that aspect of the relationship.
Major uncertainties
- The scale, sectors and duration of Dutch bilateral development assistance are unclear.
- Details of Sierra Leonean government cooperation specifically directed toward the Netherlands are limited.
