CRS Unveils Coordination Platform to Boost Development Planning in Sierra Leone

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has launched a new digital Coordination and Visualization Platform (CVP) aimed at improving development planning, strengthening collaboration among stakeholders, and enhancing the monitoring of projects across Sierra Leone.

The platform was officially unveiled on 21 July 2026 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Freetown by Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh during a ceremony attended by senior government officials, development partners, civil society organisations, donor agencies, local councils, and representatives of various ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).

The initiative is designed to provide a centralized system that enables government institutions and development partners to map ongoing interventions, improve access to reliable data, and coordinate development activities more effectively. By increasing the visibility of projects nationwide, the platform is expected to reduce duplication of efforts, strengthen collaboration, and support evidence-based decision-making.
