Summary
In 2019, WFP assisted 226,000 vulnerable people in Sierra Leone through its multi-sector programme contributing to the progress in different Sustainable Development Goals (SDG2.1 end hunger and ensure access by all people; SDG2.2 end all forms of malnutrition, SDG2.3 double the agricultural productivity and the incomes of small-scale food producers, and SDG17.9 Enhance international support for implementing effective and targeted capacity-building). The T-ICSP supported smallholder production and productivity, increase agricultural input and market access by developing and rehabilitating 800 hectares of lowland into a productive rice field. The T-ICSP also supported the Government to address malnutrition among the vulnerable population as many as 25,002 children and 30,579 pregnant and lactating women. The 2019 rainy season had heavier rainfalls and caused flooding leading to displacements in Freetown and rural areas as well as affecting the farming activities. WFP provided technical support to the Office of National Security and Freetown City Council in needs assessment and beneficiary registration as well as coordination while providing in-kind relief food assistance in some of the affected rural communities. Similarly, WFP supported the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in conducting the seasonal Food Security Monitoring System surveys in February and August thus timely contributing to the national data to the West African regional food security analyses “Cadre Harmonisé”.
