Evidence snapshot for Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone has implemented several systems-level reforms with documented impact. A multi-stakeholder working group produced the country's first national assistive technology policy, with network connectivity among disability stakeholders rising significantly (indegree from 0.23 to 0.38, p<0.01). Solar-powered tablets delivering adaptive literacy lessons have reached rural schools, with children using the software twice as likely to reach reading fluency benchmarks after one year. A machine-learning tool for medicine distribution scaled nationwide improved essential-medicine consumption by 19% across 1,058 health facilities (p<0.01), with 32% gains in the poorest, most remote areas, and Freetown's GIS-based property tax reform doubled the tax register while lifting revenue potential fivefold.
