effects of the war in Ukraine crisis have worsened food and nutrition security</strong>, alongside economic decline and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in an already food-deficit country. Spikes in petrol prices have driven up food, transport and other costs. This has in turn reduced people’s purchasing power and increased widespread poverty.</p> <p>Despite an improvement in levels of stunting (impaired development due to malnutrition), <strong>over a quarter of children</strong> are still affected. –undermining long-term human productivity and Sierra Leone’s economic prospects.</p> <p><strong>Agriculture is the backbone of Sierra Leone’s economy</strong>. However, it is dominated by smallholders practising subsistence farming, with traditional methods and limited use of improved seeds and fertilizers. It is also fragmented and characterized by declining yields, due in part to an increasingly unpredictable climate.</p> <p><strong>The climate emergency increases the risk of droughts and floods</strong>, and any increase in sea levels affects the water supply and thereby the country’s agriculture. </p> <p>The World Food Programme (WFP) supports the Government through a range of activities. <strong>We use food, cash, nutrition assistance and capacity strengthening, empowering young women and smallholder farmers in particular</strong>. Increased national preparedness for climate-related shocks is among WFP’s priorities, along with school meals and food-security analysis and monitoring.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="columns__side"> </div> </div> <div class="field field--field-paragraphs"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type-page-accordion paragraph--view-mode-full mv4 mv5-lg clearfix"> <h2 class="page-stripe__title wfp-wrapper">What the World Food Programme is doing in Sierra Leone</h2> <section class="accordion wfp-wrapper js--accordion"> <dl class="accordion__items js--accordion__items"> <dt class="accordion__item-title active"> <div> <span>Emergency response </span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel active"> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP works with the Ministry of Social Welfare and the National Disaster Management Agency to ensure that crisis-affected people can meet their food and nutritional needs and are supported in recovering from shocks.

This activity integrates nutrition interventions with asset creation and livelihood initiatives, emphasizing institutional capacity building and strengthening the capabilities of mother support groups. In 2023, WFP piloted a pioneering approach to increase local production of affordable, enriched complementary food for children aged 6-23 months. Four women groups were equipped and trained to hygienically produce nutrient-rich, local, complementary food, targeting infants living in the immediate catchment area of the production site.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img src="https://www.wfp.org/sites/default/files/styles/page_accordion/public/images/Malnutrition.jpg?itok=uGw0GPJI" alt="A man is feeding his child with nutritious food provided by WFP"> </div> </aside> </dd> <dt class="accordion__item-title "> <div> <span>Promoting local nutritious foods </span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel "> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP works with the Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute to promote diet diversity and access to healthy local foods for infants.

These include tubers rich in pro-vitamin A, such as orange-fleshed sweet potato and yellow cassava. WFP supports communities in cultivating and storing them safely.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img src="https://www.wfp.org/sites/default/files/styles/page_accordion/public/images/Promoting%20local.jpg?itok=c-8QDOeX" alt="A man in a gown is working"> </div> </aside> </dd> <dt class="accordion__item-title "> <div> <span>Supporting smallholder farmers</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel "> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP assists 140 groups – comprising over 8,000 smallholder farmers across seven districts – to cultivate, process and market rice and nutritious vegetables. The groups cultivate inland valley swamps, which ensures year-round cultivation. WFP supports the farmers with irrigation projects. They are also trained in climate-smart agricultural methods, post-harvest crop management, group marketing and how to successfully run village savings and loans schemes. The farmer groups supply the home-grown school feeding programme.</div> <aside class="accordion__item-side"> <div class="accordion__item-image"> <img
