Food System Resilience Program

Food Sovereignty and Resilience

The Food System Resilience Program is a five-year program that is implemented across seven (7) countries in Africa, including Sierra Leone. For Sierra Leone, the program is worth USD 135mil through three (3) funding sources: 1) the original FSRP (World Bank) - USD 60mil, 2) the Crisis Response Window (CRW) (World Bank) - USD 50mil, and 3) the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) - USD 25mil.

FSRP Sierra Leone has five core components, implemented across the 15 agricultural districts in Sierra Leone and focuses mainly on three value chains including Rice, Cassava, and Livestock.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security is the Principal Implementing Agency, responsible for providing leadership in establishing and managing the Program Implementation Unit (PIU), and supporting activity implementation and supervision through its national and district level structures.
