    CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY SITUATION IN SIERRA LEONE - 4 February 2000 2000
    Also available in:
    Since November 1996, when the last FAO/GIEWS Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited the country, serious security problems precluded any meaningful assessment of the food situation in Sierra Leone. It was only towards the end of 1999, following a peace agreement and the restoration of a civilian administration, that it became possible, albeit to a limited extent, to engage in such an exercise. Accordingly, FAO/GIEWS fielded a short mission from 29 November to 11 December to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the food situation to the extent that circumstances allowed. This report is the outcome of that mission. The Mission acknowledges the valuable contributions from a range of agencies and organizations, private and public, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Marine Resources (MAFE), WFP, World Vision International (WVI), EC, USAID, CRS, AFRICARE, Action Contre La Faim (ACF) and CARE. The mission also had detailed discussions with some members of the National Association of Farmers of Sierra Leone.

    CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY SITUATION IN LIBERIA - 26 January 1999 1999
    Also available in:
    Since 1996 it had been impossible for FAO/GIEWS to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the food supply situation in Liberia due to security reasons. With improved security following the installation of an elected government, GIEWS was able to field a short fact-finding mission to the country in mid-December 1998 to estimate food production in 1998 and forecast the cereal supply position for 1999 (January/December). Two officers, one from the Ministry of Agriculture and the other from the FAO Representation, were assigned to assist the Mission. Discussions were held with relevant Government officials, UN Agencies and NGOs, and limited field visits were made to inspect crop conditions.
