4.3.2 Disability in Sierra Leone
No clear data are available about the prevalence of disability. The PRSP document mentions a number of 7.0 per thousand persons, but this can be assumed as definitely being too low. War in the country has led to many impairments, e.g. amputations. The census data from 2003 indicate that 2.7% of the population have a disability. There are only a few DPOs in Sierra Leone, and these are all relatively new and therefore do not have much capacity.
