The United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Peacebuilding Support, Ms. Carolyn McAskie, will visit Sierra Leone from 6 to 8 March 2007 shortly after the Secretary-General of the United Nations announced an allocation of US Dollars 35 million from the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) in support of Sierra Leone.
At the end of her visit, Ms. McAskie will share with the media further information on the new peacebuilding architecture including the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) and the Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO) to address critical gaps in peace consolidation efforts in post-conflict countries such as Sierra Leone and Burundi.
