Building paths to peace: Bo Peace and Reconciliation Movement

Acknowledgments

A great many people have contributed over the years to helping shape the vision and work of Conciliation Resources’ West Africa Programme. While they are too many to name here, Conciliation Resources (CR) is extremely grateful for their invaluable support and advice.
In appreciation to former CR colleagues who have been involved in BPRM’s development in the past, particularly David Lord, Francis Fortune, Jeanette Eno, late Sahr Gborie and Michael Hammer. Special mention should be given to CR’s Advisory Board members in Sierra Leone, Lucinda Amara, Dr Dennis Bright, Gladys Gbappy-Brima, Doris Kanneh, Daphne Olu-Williams and especially Joe Pyne who has played an integral role in BPRM’s progress.

The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) have provided important financial support to CR’s ongoing partnership with BPRM.

Conciliation Resources’ London office gave valuable support to the process of documenting BPRM’s work and editing the final text. Peter Hanson-Alp also offered editorial advice.

It is clear that BPRM would not be where they are today without the continued support of the large family of committed individuals who form CR’s staff in Sierra Leone.

BPRM’s staff and volunteer peace monitors have given new meaning to the word commitment, working tirelessly to help maintain peace in Sierra Leone. Their wisdom and experience is a valuable asset to the nation.
