aibia was set up in 2010 following a
trip to Sierra Leone by tim weldon and the subsequent meeting of
abubakar conteh (yapo) in the city of Makeni.
During that trip a number of opportunities were identified for economic and social change. Despite numerous ups and downs since then, we have found ways to continue to try to work on establishing projects on the ground that work towards new and more progressive social and economic avenues.
Abubakarr Conteh (Yapo):
Is the country director of aibia for Sierra Leone. His background is in development and law.
Tim Weldon:
Works on organizational strategy, funding, and support for aibia from New York and Europe. He is an anthropologist, with a PhD from Rutgers University, and has a background is in post-conflict reconstruction, alternative development, and autonomous and sustainable communities.
