The Pro Poor-Growth for Peace Consolidation Project (GPC), commenced in 2006, as a result of a Financial Cooperation Agreement between the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany represented by the German Development Bank (KfW). The Program Executing Agency (PEA) in Sierra Leone is the National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA).
