Sierra Leone's evidence, in one place you can question.
A verified, centralised hub for the country's laws, policies, evaluations, government surveys and unpublished research.
Ask Sabi a questionThe evidence exists. Finding it is the problem.
Sierra Leone's policies, evaluations and surveys are real and largely public. They are also scattered across ministries, donor archives and outdated PDFs, and the most useful material, the evaluations and grey literature, was never published anywhere searchable.
So work restarts from nothing, the same study gets commissioned twice, and programmes are designed without knowing what has already been tried.
“Sabi” is Krio for “to know”
Ask the question you actually have.
Ask Sabi- What is Sierra Leone's education policy on early childhood learning?
- What are the common questions stakeholders ask about evidence collection and maintenance?
- What do government surveys show about child nutrition?
Every answer links to the document it came from. Around 2,000 people use it, including about 200 civil servants.

If your ministry, programme or country needs the same thing for its own evidence base, that is a conversation we want to have.
