    After heavy and above-average rains fell in September 2015 in the Southern Province and Western Area, an estimated 22 000 people were affected and thousands of hectares of land were destroyed. The worst of the damage occurred in Bo, Bontheand Pujehundistricts. Because many households in Sierra Leone depend on agriculture for their food and income, the loss of crops and seeds devastated the food and nutrition security of farmers in these areas, who were already at the peak of the lean season. This project was implemented to immediately improve household food security while allowing farmers to restart agricultural production during the main growing season.

    Extreme climate vulnerability, conflicts between livestock and crop farmers, inflation of rice, fuel and agricultural inputs prices, depreciation of Leones, low wages and pandemics have increased the pre-existing vulnerabilities in Sierra Leone, thereby, contributing to high food insecurity and malnutrition in the country. In response, the Government of Ireland contributed EUR 500 000 (USD 533 049) to FAO’s project OSRO/SIL/200/IRE entitled “Building resilient communities through climate-smart and market-driven production for improved food security and nutrition in Sierra Leone”. The project was implemented form 1 January 2023 to 30 April 2024. The objective of the project was to address bottlenecks among vegetable growers, who are mostly women and youth, and among the most vulnerable population of the society. In total, 1 500 households were targeted across five districts (300 per district, organised in 50 farmer-based organizations [FBOs] of 30 people) in Bombali, Karene, Port Loko, Moyamba and Western Rural.
