Sierra Leone
In
June of 2001, IFES was invited by the National Election Commission of
Sierra Leone to conduct an assessment on electoral access in preparation
for May 2002 elections, and to make recommendations
about how to better accommodate voters with disabilities. In
May of 2001, IFES
teamed with Action on Disability and Development in Ghana and the Sierra
Leone Association
of the Blind to pilot test a tactile
ballot for blind voters, and to conduct a modest 
electoral
observation effort. (Funded by IFES as part of grants from Finland, the
United Kingdom, and the United States).
