Business Engineering Science and Technology (BEST) was established in 2003 as the first Sierra Leonean development and management consulting firm. The firm was set-up with the special mission: to offer high quality technical and socially and environmentally sensitive development services that applies the best-practiced knowledge and methods of Business, Engineering, Science and Technology (hence the BEST), to meet the complex challenges of development and management interventions of the Public and the Private sectors including profit and not-for profit organizations. The BEST is therefore a multi-disciplinary Development and governance service provider. The overarching goal of the BEST’s development and Management services is to deliver competitive best-practiced and result-based Development and management services using the best socio-technical and e-know-how and practices to support the Governance and Management of development projects/programs and the recurrent service delivery interventions of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and business administration. Our services have been delivered to MDAs and Donor supported Development Projects/programs, on the one part, and on the other, supported the Development and Corporate Governance of Small, Medium and Large Enterprises (SMLEs). For the purposes of the post-grad training, the BEST will also draw from its sister organization – Centre for Economic and Social Policy Analysis (CESPA’s) Research and Development Services that includes its research in public service delivery and governance (see CESPA’s Publications and Kamara and Kamara et al Book ), as well as, its R&D support to MDAs’ Policy Planning and Management of Development Programs and Sector Reviews and support to Donors Data Cycle Management, using computer assisted data collection.
