Abstract: This study focused on the medium-term objectives, the 2004 government budget, and other policies and measures for the program period. The preparation of a full Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) will play a crucial role in the process, as this would provide a road map for the government's medium-term efforts. Sierra Leone's poverty reduction efforts would be significantly assisted by a medium- to long-term framework to develop the mineral sector. The IMF staff discussed with the authorities ways to achieve the monetary targets under the program.
