The Saving Lives in Sierra Leone Phase 3 Consortium (SLiSL 3)

The FCDO funded five-year SLiSL 3 Consortium brings together five core partners and two technical specialist partners to support health systems strengthening (HSS) in Sierra Leone to increase health service quality, access, and inclusivity. The programme has been designed to reflect the best buy aspects of Consortium partner interventions, integrating key learnings from Saving Lives in Sierra Leone Phases 1 and 2 (SLiSL1&2) and the Ending Preventable Deaths Bottleneck Analysis (HEART 2023).

The Consortium’s whole-of-system approach aligns closely with Ministry of Health (MoH) guidelines, policies, and strategic objectives, reflecting the Consortium’s demonstrated and long history of partnerships and positive relationships with the MoH. The programme will be implemented across four broad programme areas, that is, district support, community level interventions, health workforce development and accountability, and clinical services. The Consortium partners play an important role in providing specific expertise as well as integrated collaboration across the programme areas. The programme will use a combination of innovative pathways to sustainable and government-owned quality improvement. These include the introduction and scaling of life-saving and cost-effective technologies; a combination of evidence-based interventions for the development of participatory and accountable services; and a suite of safeguarding and inclusivity approaches to fundamentally enhance the planning and delivery of health services in Sierra Leone. The Consortium’s rich understanding of the complexities of the health system has resulted in a context-sensitive design that will ultimately deliver high impact and sustained changes.
