Aiming to increase vulnerable households’ resilience to food and nutrition insecurity by strengthening food systems in Tonkolili and Port Loko Districts in North West Sierra Leone. Food and Nutrition Security through Equitable and Climate Smart Food Systems (Yoti Yoti) is a €6 million five-year project funded by Irish Aid under the ‘Ireland’s Civil Society Partnership for A Better World’ (ICSP) 2023-2027 implemented in Sierra Leone. Overview Sierra Leone is among the poorest countries in the world (ranked 181 out of 191 countries on the Human Development Index) and is continuing to struggle with a highly fragile economy. In 2023, the World Bank summarized the macroeconomic situation as one of high vulnerability to global shocks combined with weak national systems and structures. Cost of living has reached crisis proportions with official rate of inflation at 43% and food inflation more than 50%. The country's food insecurity levels have been greatly impacted with 47% of the population being food insecure and 17% at crisis level (Cadre Harmonise October 2023).
