The Ebola crisis has demonstrated that it is critical to invest in national health systems in epidemic prevention, preparedness and response in order significantly to reduce the risk of a global epidemic. The UK will work with the Government of Sierra Leone and partners to improve systems and structures that will contribute to better future service delivery and infrastructure. This will ensure that should Sierra Leone be faced with a subsequent outbreak of Ebola or an epidemic of another disease, it is better able to respond effectively.<\/p>

The Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone occurred alongside a steep fall in iron ore prices and these two crises together prompted a sharp drop in Sierra Leone\u2019s economic activity. All of Sierra Leone\u2019s economic sectors have been affected by these crises, including agriculture upon which more than 60% of the population depend for their livelihoods.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
So far the UK has committed £325 million to eradicating the disease in Sierra Leone and the UK priority is to get to zero cases as soon as possible and prevent any new outbreaks in Sierra Leone. However, in parallel the UK is working with the Government of Sierra Leone on longer term economic recovery.<\/p>

The government of Sierra Leone has made representations and enquiries regarding direct flights between the UK and Sierra Leone, including the British Airways decision to suspend services. The UK Government is not in a position to make an assessment of the economic impact of British Airways suspending its service to Freetown and has not been asked to give British Airways advice on what was a commercial decision. The Government\u2019s subsequent decision not to permit direct scheduled air services between Sierra Leone and the UK as part of the Government\u2019s overall strategy to mitigate the risk of Ebola entering the UK remains unchanged at this time.<\/p>

DFID support to the re-integration of former combatants from Sierra Leone took place in two ways. In the first phase 1999 to 2001/02, DFID made contributions to the World Bank managed Multi Donor Trust Fund. Along with other donors, DFID funds were specifically targeted at re-integration activities, including vocational and skills training, medical assistance, psychosocial support and a re-integration allowance of US$300 per individual. By the time the DDR Trust Fund had ended, it was estimated that over 70,000 ex-combatants had benefitted from the Trust Fund.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
From 2002 to 2006, DFID implemented a Reintegration and Rehabilitation Programme in Sierra Leone that focused specifically on rebuilding communities and re-integrating ex-combatants into society, through a community based approach.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/55", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "New Forest West"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Desmond Swayne"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-02T17:41:53.427Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Sierra Leone"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what contributions her Department has made to rehabilitating former combatants in the civil war in Sierra Leone; and if she will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3929", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Simon Kirby"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brighton, Kemptown"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Simon Kirby"} ], "uin" : "224871"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176660", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176660/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
