The Sierra Leone national workshop to accelerate the education sector response
was held in Freetown 25 - 29 April 2005 in collaboration with development
partners members of UNAIDS' Inter Agency Task Team on HIV/AIDS and Education.
UNESCO-BREDA co-facilitated this workshop.
Vice President, Honourable Solomon E. Berewa, opened the workshop in the
presence of the ministers of education, science and technology, social welfare,
gender and children's affairs, and representatives of the other line ministries.
The workshop was structured in information sessions relating to the science
of HIV/AIDS, country assessments from the National Aids Secretariat and
the ministry of education and group sessions to perform situation analysis
in provinces. Thematic groups discussed issues relating to prevention and
teacher training, Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Policy and Tertiary Education.
Action plans developed during these work sessions were utilised by teams
to prepare regional action plans with a Rapid Result Initiative.
Independence Day coincided with EFA Global week, and celebrations at the
National Stadium on 27 April were dedicated to HIV/AIDS prevention education.
Proud school children paraded with messages showing their commitment to
stop the spread of the virus.
