While independence of the country from colonial rule was desirable, it is fact that the independence has caused vicious cycles of poverty and corruption. Critical sectors like education, health, infrastructure and civil rights have been affected acutely (Harber, 2002)
The IMF also suggests that poverty reduction strategy papers that are prepared by the IMF and the government of Sierra Leone highlighting the policies and the achievements of the policies in the previous term should be followed. For example, in the strategy paper that was prepared by the IMF in 2005, the international financial body stresses that the economy of Sierra Leone was heavily dependent on agriculture, mining and informal economic activities and hence the policies should be designed with a special focus for growth in these sectors as these sector have the potential to influence on the overall economic growth rate of the country (International Monetary Fund, 2005)

The landless people and small-scale farmers are the poorest people in Sierra Leone. The refugees who were internally displaced during the war, the young people that include a large number of former combatants, the young women who had been sexually abused and single mothers are among the most vulnerable poor groups (Riddell, 2005)
According to Sachs et al., (2004) the entire sub-Saharan Africa is prone to poverty due to factors like very high transport costs and small market size, low-productivity agriculture and adverse geopolitics and lack of technological diffusion form the developed countries (Sachs et al
delinquency, and in some cases increased delinquency" (Dodge, 11). Interventions -- Group Therapy is Effective Taking issue with Dodge -- in fact, showing diametrically opposite results from Dodge's assertions -- is a white paper produced by the American Group Psychotherapy Association (Aronson, et al
Kenneth Dodge and colleagues posit that placing violence adolescents in group therapy sessions is a mistake. It is one of the most "robust findings" in the literature on juvenile delinquency that "exposure to deviant peers" is linked to antisocial behaviors including drug use and "violent offenses" (Dodge, et al
Teen Violence Introduction / Group Population Many verifiable studies reflect the fact that children that are aggressive at a very young age have a "high risk" of becoming involved in "chronic violent behavior" later in their lives (Herrenkohl, et al
There were four group sessions, and from those sessions researchers learned when these youth feel safe, what the terms they use actually meant, and what priorities are needed in terms of developing violence-preventing interventions. Hence, these sessions were not psychological therapeutic events; they were group screening sessions to determine what interventions would be appropriate for black young people impacted by dating violence (Martin, et al
Peace Posse -- Interventions for Violent Youth Environments The peer-reviewed journal The Urban Review reports on a situation in Philadelphia in which teen violence was becoming an enormous social problem. For example, the group Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) took action after its research showed that 74% of young people in one survey had "witnessed a violent act and 48% had been hurt directly by some form of violence" (Reichert, et al
The group leader must adopt an "active therapeutic stance" and "speak plainly and authentically avoiding "the use of jargon" because jargon will indicate to the adolescents that this is "another adult who does not 'get' where the adolescent is coming from (Aronson, 99). Intervention -- The Step Up Intervention in Minnesota The Step Up program, a curriculum for teens that play out violence at home, is a program that includes group therapy using a cognitive behavioral approach and attempts to teach "respectful ways of communicating and solving conflict with family members" (Routt, et al
But by 2003, only 35% of French corporations were following the law completely. The article goes on to review the different levels of cooperation with the law; are corporations being honest and open -- or are they dishonest? On page 791 the authors explain that "poor compliance" by companies could be explained because the law was too vague and it did not spell out punishment for corporations that didn't follow the law (Chauvey, 791)
Effects of quality and corporate social responsibility on loyalty. This article (by Chomvilailuk and Butcher) makes it clear that when a company (in this case, a bank in Australia) is socially responsible, and customers know it, it has "significant effects on purchase intention and positive word of mouth" (Chomvilailuk, 2014)
Regarding the CSR reports for the year 2010, they were better than the CSR reports from 2004, and by 2012 the CSR disclosures have become more complete but "quality remains low" (Chauvey, 800). Effect of Financial Reporting Quality on Sustainability Information Disclosure This article (Martinez-Ferrero and colleagues), is about companies' CSR reports (on social, environmental, and financial information)
Regulating Quality in CSR Reporting in Australia Writers Mia Rahim and Victor Vicario explain that there is no question that CSR helps society, but as to what is the best way of making CSR reporting better, that answer is not available yet (the article was written in December, 2015, in the New Zealand Universities Law Review). The fact is that if corporations are left on their own to report their CSR, with no regulations or laws to guide them, they may neglect to do a good job reporting CSR (Rahim, 2015)
This would include what technology is used, what it will be used for, how it will be installed, who will support it and other details like that. Beyond that, the plan that is in force should be made public both before and after it is enacted so that there is full transparency and knowledge of the plan and what goes into it (District Technology Plan, 2016)
Whether it is the move from CRT tube televisions to flat screens (and in several forms including LCD, LED and plasma) or the move from large desktop computers to laptops, tablets and smartphones, the technology realm is all about transitions and change and this would include the technology used to support and foster learning in school districts. To that end, technical support personnel need to be given the headcount, training and technology proper train and support all of the people in the school district that needed it (Lewis, 2008)
