Guests include cabinet ministers, other government officials, and development partners, Civil society organizations, local authorities, the private sector, and the media. The event will be climaxed by the symbolic signing between the UN Resident Coordinator, Ms Seraphine Wakana, representing the UN Country Team, and the Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Ms Kenyeh Barlay. Following that, an exhibition event showcasing the impact of the respective agencies will follow.
The plan to be launched will be focused on three pillars: Food Systems, Natural Resource Management and Climate Change; Human Capital, Essential Services and Employment; and Governance and Economic Transformation.
The United Nations is thankful to the Government of Sierra Leone for the joint collaborative effort that has resulted in the new UNSDCF aligned with the Government of Sierra Leone’s development priorities.
