Sierra Leone food security and leadership initiatives

Overview

Sierra Leonean leadership is actively promoting the ‘Feed Salone Agenda’ to enhance national food security and reduce reliance on imports. President Julius Maada Bio and First Lady Fatima Maada Bio have participated in various agricultural activities, including rice harvests at a military-managed farm in the Moyamba District and inspections of fish and livestock facilities in the Bonthe District.

The First Lady has advocated for increased private-sector participation in agriculture and has called on African leaders to integrate women and girls into decision-making processes regarding climate change, security, and economic development. Alongside these food security efforts, the administration is highlighting professional expertise in public service, citing figures such as Dr. David Moinina Sengeh as models for youth leadership.
