2. Activities implemented
This section of the report provides a detailed overview of the activities implemented during the
reporting period.
I. Five Meetings held with partners (IPA and IGC) to plan for the inter-
debates
Five formal meetings were held at Search’s office among partners that focused mainly on planning
for the inter-party debates, several other informal meetings between the Project Officer of Search
and one representatives from Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and or International Growth
Centre (IGC) to agree on implementation strategies, troubleshooting and actions that facilitate
successful implementation of activities before the elections day. Everything needed for the
successful implementation of the debates in February and March were planned in the meetings
held in January.

On the 17th January 2018, a meeting called at Search’s office in Tengbeh Town was attended by
Joseph Jimmy Sankaituah, Sierra Leone Country Director at Search, Emrys Savage, Media
Coordinator of Search, Niccolo Meriggi, Debate Project Officer, Abu Bakarr and Alhassan
George, International Growth Centre, and Chiara Amato and Arthur Baker, Innovations for
Poverty Action. Lessons learnt from the intra-party debates, among other issues, were shared with
partners and suggestions were made for lessons that had negative impact to the project. These
lessons are listed below:
● Increase the information available to the public about the purpose of the debates in
advance of debate shooting and screening
● To conduct the survey before intra-party debates with party aspirants, which took
longer than expected. It is agreed that IPA will find a way to reduce the interview
time.
● It is highlighted that the Debate Management Team at Search was effective in
managing the affairs of the project and therefore should retain the same for the inter-
party activities to promote ownership.
● To increase the presence of security and the timeline for the conduct of the inter-party
debates, which is very pertinent to the meeting. By the close of the meeting, it was
agreed that the following be achieved before 26th January 2018:
o Create a targeted constituency list, to be done by IGC
o Write letters to the political parties, to be done by IGC
o Produce jingles, to be done by Search after the Constituency list is out
o Finalize debates filming schedule, to be done by Search
Search also held meetings on the 23rd, 25th, 29th and 31st January 2018. The frequency of the
meetings tells the seriousness of partners toward the success of the projects. In one of such
meetings, partners agreed to start the debates with 30 constituencies while 15 to be handled as
debates on demand from the candidates. We also agreed in one of the meetings that candidates
should be filmed in one location within the constituency, and all candidates must be in attendance.
The caveat there was that, should one candidate, from either APC or SLPP, not be present; the
filming crew should wait for him/her up to a period of hours, a day or two depending on the
location of the campaign engagements.
One very important meeting was summoned by the Country Director of Search on the 18th
February 2018 at the Search Conference room to troubleshoot issues of poor attendance at the
Screening events in the field. Two screenings were done in different location in each constituency,
one of which the IPA data collectors would take note of every events that unfolded during the
process of the screening. However, because the Researchers were too quick to send photos of the
screening to show the attendance, IPA country office officials were concern and made their points
through the debate management Social Media group which led to a meeting to address the reasons
for poor attendance at the start of the screening and to proffer new community mobilization
methods to mitigate the problem.

II. Identification and recruitment of 45 Community Mobilizers to create
additional awareness and mobilize citizens to turn out for the screenings
Four teams were dispatched into the field to cover the four regions in Sierra Leone, where the
debates would be held, prior to the inception of the inter party debates. This activity was
undertaken on the 24th to 26th January 2018, to ensure that stakeholders in the selected 45
constituencies are aware of the project, the intent and purpose, start and end dates. This visit was
intended to recruit local mobilizers who understood the terrain and were rooted in the
constituencies. A screening facilitator, who speaks the local lingua franca of the people, is needed
to facilitate the conversation in a way that enables all those in the screening hall to understand the
discussion between the candidates.
The visit was also intended to orientate the Community Mobilizers in advance of the screenings in
order to avoid the issue of low turnout for the screening. The outcome of the team’s visit included:
● 45 mobilisers (11 women and 28 men) recruited and oriented toward the debate
● 45 lingua franca interpreters (6 women and 39 men) recruited and orientated
● 90 video screening centers identified by the Community Mobilizers
III. Develop inter-party debate methodology and questions for the debates
The goal of the project is to “Contribute to better governance of constituencies through
citizens’ participation in the electoral processes in Sierra Leone”. To achieve this, voters must
be better informed of their candidate’s policy plans in targeted constituencies and citizens should
be able to influence party candidates’ selection in their constituencies.
For this purpose, Search in consultations with IPA and IGC targeted 50 intra-party and 45 inter-
party debates in randomly identified locations across the country. As stated among others in the
previous report, the implementation strategy for the intra-party debate was altered to suit the survey
aspect of the project, extending the number of days the debates screening teams spent in the field
from 10 to 30 days.
For the inter-party debate process, the survey was initially planned to come after the elections but
as planning went on in several meetings with IPA and IGC, the survey interview strategy was
changed to take place during the screening phase, which altered Search’s implementation strategy.
Another change in the survey that affected the implementation methodology was when the filming
teams had to wait for the two main parties, APC and SLPP, in each constituency so that the effect
of their presence in the debate will be felt in the IPA survey. It became an issue because this was
not in the original implementation plan in the project document.
By 25th January 2018, questions for the debates were developed by IGC and shared with partners
for review and feedback. The Debate Moderators were also given the opportunity to review the
questions and adjust them along the lines of the contextual issues in Sierra Leone based on their
understanding. The final set of questions for the inter-party debates was divided into segments for
easy reference for the moderators. They included:
Politician Entry, Selection, and Performance Project– 2nd progress Report (Jan1 - March15, 2018)

● The introduction, where candidates would have to give a brief background about
themselves and say what qualifies them to be a Member of Parliament;
● The National Policy area, where candidates were expected to respond to questions of
priority issues and the Constituency Facilitation Fund, done by CFF;
● The optional area that allows the candidates to answer questions either on education, health,
corruption, youth or agriculture, etc.
● Questions that are specific to the district in which the constituency is located.
IV. Training of Facilitators and Moderators for Inter-Party Debates
One-day refresher training for moderators and facilitators who had been part of the intra-party
primaries debates was conducted on 5th February 2018 at Search’s Jamboria Drive Office. In the
training, key lessons from the intra-party debates were shared to increase the learning and agree
together how to use those lessons to improve the Inter-party debate moderation and facilitation.
There were 10 moderators (4 female and 6 male) and 5 male facilitators. Yuen Ho and Chiara
Amato, of IPA attended the training and provided useful background information about the
research components of the project and the relationship between the screening team and the
research team.
IPA took some time to drill all participants through the debates script including the questions and
the approach to administer it during the debates. Moderators were given the time contextualize the
questions and reflect on their previous experience with the intra-party debate in line with issues
that prevail in the districts or constituencies. At the end of the refresher training, moderators were
placed into teams for the debates to facilitate coordination and planning of their schedule, as most
of them were full time employees of their institutions.
V. Develop and distribute messages promoting the debates/screenings and
build networks and support from local leaders to support local
mobilization of citizens.
Between January and February 2018 when the debates filming and screenings were at the peak of
implementation, there was intense use of the social media to distribute messages to citizens about
the inter-party debates and screening in some selected communities around the country. The
Debate Project Officer, in collaboration with the Media and Technical Unit of Search, developed
and disseminated parliamentary debates and screening messages through WhatsApp and Facebook
before and during the intra-party primaries debates and before and during the Inter-party debates
and screenings. Search’s Frontline SMS software was also used to send mass messages to citizens
about the debates. This exercise was also complement by IPA and IGC who had access to the cell
contacts of all registered voters in the constituencies where the screenings were targeted; few hours
before the screening time, all registered voters who have cell contacts that function would receive
Politician Entry, Selection, and Performance Project– 2nd progress Report (Jan1 - March15, 2018)
7
an SMS inviting them to attend the screening. This largely helped in the mobilization of constituent
to the screening venues. These social media platforms were used as:
● Platforms to enhance the understanding of social media users about the importance of
debates amongst and between candidates
● Forum to publicize the dates and venues of the conduct of debates and screening in
specified Voter Registration Centers in the constituencies.
● Forum to disseminate messages to Community Mobilizers, Screening Facilitators,
constituency Stakeholders and Party executives
● To collect important data about party executives contacts, venues and availability of
some candidates
● To facilitate coordination and information sharing between and amongst implementing
partners and teams in the field
In addition to the above usage of social media, there were discussions on Facebook pages and
WhatsApp groups about the debates. From the discussions on Facebook and WhatsApp, citizens
thoughts and perspectives of debates before elections came out as listed below:
● People have fixed mindset in relation to the political set up in the country; they believe
that the debate would not change voting by region, race, or tribe
● Some contributors believe that if the debates could have a nationalistic outlook and be
made a statutory event in the electioneering cycle, then the impact would be greater
● From another angle, some thought that having debates in Political Parties primary
election or selection for party symbol should have more impact than the inter-party
debates
● Other schools of thought held the view that debates will upgrade our democracy and
will eventually change people’s perception on regional or tribal allegiance to vote
representative into governance
● The debate was perceived by some as a novelty that can bring a change to the country’s
democracy
The M&E Unit of Search facilitates discussions on topics related to the debate and provided the
forum for comments. The Debates Project Officer who moderated most of the discussions around
the Intra- and Inter-party debates then respond to those comments.
Search’s radio station partners across the constituencies were encouraged to discuss the debate on
their radio stations. A few of the radio partners reached out to Search’s Country Director seeking
partnership to facilitate on radio debate in the location between candidates of different political
parties. This request has implication for the research component of the debate led by IPA therefore
Search did not encourage any such collaboration or partnership. In addition, Search’s relationship
with the Independent Radio Network partners was used to disseminate jingles ahead of the Intra-
party and Inter-party debates in constituencies where the project was being implemented.

VI. Mobilization of filming/editing equipment
● Search purchased two cameras and rented three cameras to support the five debate
filming teams
● IPA put in place additional SD cards to support the filming teams in the field with extra
space to store materials and time to film candidates who were difficult to locate for the
first set of filming.
● Two Computers and one DVD label printer were also purchased and brought in to
facilitate the work
● 500 hundred printable DVDs were purchased ahead of the editing.
● Five sets of projectors and screens were also put in place before the screenings together
with PA systems to support citizen’s mobilization and efficiency sound for the public
during screening.
● Rented vehicles were mobilized in advance as political parties were also hiring vehicles
for campaign. In some cases, vehicles belonging to individuals were hired to fill the gap
created due to high vehicle demand during the peak of the political campaign.
VII. Filming of debates
Search had five debate filming teams with five cameras. The filming teams included the
Cameramen, Moderators, and the Soundmen. These teams were dispatched on the 7th February
2018 to shoot 45 debates in 45 constituencies in Kenema, Kailahun, Kono in the eastern region;
Bo, Pujehun, Bonthe, Moyamba in the south; Kambia, Portloko, Karene in the Northwest and
Koinadugu, Tonkolili, Bombali in the North. A total of 12 political parties participated in the
debates 159 candidates represented these political parties, with Sierra Leone People’s Party –
SLPP and the All People’s Congress – APC having 33 representative each. This shows that the
SLPP would participate only when they know that APC would be in the panel and visi-vasa. We
also had the Coalition for Change – C4C, the Alliance Democratic Party – ADP, the National
Grand Coalition - NGC and the Citizens Democratic party – CDP, forming the six major parties
that participated in the project. The NGC had 21 candidates, ADP 20, CDP 20 while other parties
put together had 32 representatives in the debates. For details of parties that participated in the
debates please see the matrix as an annex to this report.
At the time of the filming, it was not difficult to secure the committee of candidates from SLPP or
APC to our schedule because of their very busy campaign schedules in areas with no telephone
coverage. These two political parties were most significant to the survey as well as to the overall
success of the project. They are the two largest parties with significant following. On several
occasions, we had to delay in some constituencies for hours or even a day to have candidates from
these parties to participate. This also led to the extension of the number of days that each debate
team had to spend in the field. This extension also has budgetary implications. In most cases,
candidates were filmed separately not because of political differences but because the candidates
would be so busy that the filming teams would film the available candidates in one location and
move to another location where they would access the other candidate to be filmed.

Regarding candidates representing their parties, we have to agree that parliamentary debate is a
new idea and most of the other parties besides the APC and SLPP do not have representatives in
all the 132 constituencies across the country, but the interest shown so far is a clear indication that
in subsequent elections, the voters as well as the candidates would want to see and be part of a
debate. Most of the candidates and the few educated voters perceived the debates as the best means
to select aspirants for symbol and Parliamentary candidates.
VIII. Editing of the debates
A three-man editing team headed by Search’s Media Coordinator was set up to edit and burn DVDs
and facilitate distribution to the field for screening. At the studio, the Media Coordinator and his
team had a delay while waiting on candidates who were not filmed in the field due to their busy
schedules to come to Search’s office for firming. This activity is so technical that we had to
outsource experts in video editing to assist the existing set up we had at Search. The DVDs were
produced on a daily basis as and when is complete to support the Screening teams in the field so
that no day would go by without an event in the field. To ensure that there is no delay and promote
efficiency, Search and partners agreed to have two sets of people conveying materials on SD cards
from the Filming teams to the studio at Search and another team that take completed DVDs from
the studio to the Screening teams. These transporters of footages and DVDs oscillated between the
studio Editing team and the Screening and Filming teams, ensuring they meet the field teams
wherever they would be found at that moment.
To merge footages of the same background but with different time and location was very difficult,
especially when the candidate would only be available the next day when the moderator is in
another attire, affecting the continuity, the shade and the contrast of the end video. Nevertheless,
the editors were professional enough to ensure that the best video came out with little or no
suspicions of a cut and join video footage.
IX. Screening of debates
5 teams did 84 screening and the Supplementary team did 10, total is 94
Search had 5 screening teams that had 16 screenings each, with 1 auxiliary team setup by IPA and
Search, to screen 5 debates that were delayed by either of the two main political party candidates.
The screening teams comprised a lead facilitator and technical person with 1 IPA enumerator. In
order to have all the activities done with the available time left before the elections, screening
started on the 15th February 2018 while the filming crews were still shooting some debates. Each
team screened 16 debates amounting to 80 screenings while two teams did extra two screenings
and the IPA supplementary team did 10 screenings. In all, 94 screenings were done in 45
constituencies about the original 90 screenings budgeted.
Knowing that screening could not go on without the footage from the debates that are to be edited
before screening, Search and its partners developed a field operation strategy that was used to keep
the filming and screening teams uninterrupted as time was of the essence. Ten individuals from
Politician Entry, Selection, and Performance Project– 2nd progress Report (Jan1 - March15, 2018)
10
IPA worked closely with Search’s editing, filming and screening teams to act as “transporters”.
Each filming team was assigned one person to move with SD cards from the field to the video
editors at Search’s Tengbeh Office, while another set of 5 persons were responsible to transport
the edited debates in DVDs to the screening teams. This arrangement facilitated more efficient
work.
In cases where candidates were filmed separately during the debates and the editing team combined
the two footages to be one, there were instances where candidates wanted to stop the screenings
because to them it is impossible to have somebody who was not of a debate that had few
participants and when it came out of the editing studio a party that was absent has a representatives.
Due to the innovation in piecing together the footages, Some candidates thought Search and IPA
were in support of their opponents.

3. Key challenges that the project faced that are worth noting for future
consideration
In this period of the project, implementation issues were identified that constrained the
smooth running of certain activities:
● The unavailability of the best set journalists who were trained to moderate during the peak
of debate. This was largely due to demand on their time to moderate other election related
programmes at their institutions
● Getting the targeted constituency lists from the National Electoral Commission on time
● Meeting with the Secretary Generals of the two main political parties, SLPP and APC, to
have their consent for the inter-party debates, even after letters were sent to them.
● The Political Parties to accept journalists who would moderate the debates because there
were questions of credibility and neutrality. This issue was anticipated in advance and the
mitigation was to send the list of moderators to the parties so that they can vet the
moderators in advance.
● Getting some candidates of the two main political parties to attend the debates was a
challenge in some cases as many were busy with campaigning and other party
responsibilities or were hesitant to participate despite instructions from their party
hierarchy.

● In some instances, one political party representative would not participate in the debate
because the sessions were done in the lingua franca – Krio arguing that English language
is used in Parliament. The filming teams would spend hours to convince that candidates to
accept for the debate to be Krio.
● Communication about the survey strategy was limited at the beginning which affected the
role out of the field activities thereby causing change in the implementation plan.
● One of Search’s screening teams was involved in road accident when returning from a
screening. This unfortunate incident happened on the 3rd March 2018, with 4 people
onboarding the vehicle who sustained various injuries. There condition has since improved.

into the Country (Cameras, Projectors and Screens, DVD burner, DVD label printer and
the DVDs)
▪ 45 constituencies were mobilized and prepared for debate filming after parliamentary
candidates had given their consent to participate in the debates.
▪ Refresher training for ten (10) Journalists - 4 female and 6 males in debate moderation and

5. Financial Reporting Results
Please see the financial reports in a separate document
6. Operational Management and Outcome
This project is implemented by Search for Common Ground, in partnership with Innovations
Poverty Action and International Growth Center, with clearly defined partners’’ roles and
responsibilities. To achieve the target of the project, partners agreed to make Search’s office as the
hub for operations where IGC and IPA staff would station to make calls to political parties and
candidates, impressing on them to part take in the debates as well coordinate on critical decision
making. The Hub was also used to regroup for quick decision making on issues in the field that
needed stakeholders’ attention. For example, we regroup at one point to talk about low turnout for
screenings. It was agreed that the screening team reinforces the efforts of the community
mobilizers by going into the screening location early and use the PA system to increase information
about the screening. It was also agreed that IPA and Search team increase their engagement at the
field.
The existing of the WhatsApp Debate Management Central Control Structure used to manage the
field for the intra party primary debates was not dissolved but built upon and further strengthened
by bringing in key decision maker to facilitate inclusive decision making about the project. For
example, most of the decision makers who travelled outside the Country could contribute to
decision within the group on important matters. This facilitated the bringing-in of additional SD
cards to support the debate filming teams.
Despite all the efforts, getting parliamentary candidate’s full participation warranted members of
this management to meet party executives at National levels at their party offices repeatedly to
impress on them for their party’s participation. This does not mean that they were not interested
but because Debate of this nature is still evolving. It would take the next elections after testing
debates in bye-election for parties to begin demanding debate as a way of boosting their chances
of winning
