Resume
The aim of the project is to enable Sierra Leone Institution of Engineering (SLIE) to advocate and work for the SDGs from an engineering sector perspective, as well as to equip SLIE and its members to promote sustainable development from a practical and country specific perspective. EWB-DK in cooperation with ANE will provide technical support to SLIE in developing its first long term strategy strategy though a participatory process bringings its members and partners across the country on board. In parallel with that SLIEs administravie/- organisational capacity to serve its members and attract new members will be also enhanced. Possible risks could be lack of ownership, limited interest, and commitment to allocate the time required, or mismanagement of funds. To address these risks, the partners will keep a continuous focus on providing sufficient motivation and capacity building to increase knowledge and capacity for implementation of activities that are new to SLIE.
