Disability In and Around Urban Areas of Sierra Leone (published 2010) Leonard Cheshire Disability has published one of the first comprehensive studies into disability in and around urban areas of Sierra Leone. The country is now rebuilding its infrastructure after ten years of civil war, and the report’s findings will be very useful in planning development policies and programmes that include the needs of disabled people from their inception. It is also timely, as the country recently ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and has just drafted a national disability act. Written by a team led by Jean-Francois Trani, of staff at the Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Development Centre at University College London, the report will also be useful to organisations, individuals and students interested in disability and development.
