In 2008, the Government of Sierra Leone acted upon the TRC's recommendations and, with support from the UN Peace Building Fund and the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), founded the Sierra Leone Reparations Programme (SLRP). The project is implemented by the National Commission for Social Action. Up to today, over 33,000 victims have been registered and 20,000 of them have already received a cash allowance as livelihood or education support in 2009 in line with the reparations conditions. In addition, over 250 particularly affected victims received fistula surgery or other emergency medical treatment. Psychosocial support sessions were organised in all four districts of the country and 40 communities received financial means to hold at the community level symbolic reparation events such as burials and other forms of recognition. As recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the 28,000 primary beneficiaries of the SLRP were: ► ► ► ► ► Amputees War wounded civilians War widows Orphans Victims of sexual abuse The National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA) yesterday began a new round of cash payments to 10,753 victims of gross human rights violations suffered during Sierra Leone's decade long conflict that ended in 2002. The payments, financed by UN Peace Building Fund (UNPBF) and implemented by NaCSA with IOM support, were worth a total of USD 860,240 and were disbursed nationwide. Some 20,000 Sierra Leoneans have already benefited from the scheme. The payments, averaging USD 80 per victim, were part of the USD 4.55 million PBFfunded Sierra Leone Reparations Programme (SLRP), which received technical, administrative and operational support from International Office of Migration. Since its inception in 2009 the SLRP has registered and verified 32,148 civilian victims of war, of whom 13,283 were war widows, 8,677 child victims, 5,448 war-wounded, 3,602 victims of sexual violence and 1,138 victims of limb amputation. 48 The Second International Conference on Transitional Justice in Zimbabwe
