Keynote Address Delivered by President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma at the Launch of the National Disaster Response Trust Fund on Wednesday 8th May 2013 at the Miatta Conference Hall, Youyi Building in Freetown
Salutations,I am honoured to welcome you all to this very important launching ceremony. We live in a global village, and we are part and parcel of the benefits and challenges inherent in our membership of the global community. A major global challenge today is managing disasters, which are becoming increasingly common. Actions in one part of the globe may cause disasters in another region, and this region may end up being ours. Others may come to our aid, but we must be prepared, we must be proactive, we must be the first line of action in disaster management in our own corner of the village.

On behalf of the people of Sierra Leone, and in my own name, I welcome you all to Sierra Leone. We feel very honoured to be hosts of this seminal Mano River Union Conference on Energy and Gender.

So, when in October 2012, my Special Adviser on Gender and Women’ Affairs in consultation with the Minister of Energy briefed and advised that the Government takes the global leadership in hosting this very significant and historical conference, I immediately gave my approval.
