"My work as a Rapid Results intern was based primarily in Koinadugu District and Freetown City in Sierra Leone, where I worked closely with the Decentralization Secretariat (Central Government) and the Koinadugu District Council (Local Government) in institutionalizing and implementing rapid results initiatives in the districts, using World Bank and other donor funds. I worked with community members, RRI teams, District Veterinary Officer and District Medical Officer, NGOs, among others,
in strategizing, drafting documentation and implementing various rapid results initiatives in livestock and human health, education, social services and community infrastructure. Aside from learning concepts, theories
and principles of the rapid results approach, it was interesting to note that there exists enormous local capacity, skill and innovation that is untapped."
