AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Nutrition & Climate Resilience: Sierra Leone and the wider region face a hunger risk as drought, conflict and rising food prices push families toward cheaper, less nutritious diets—prompting calls for coordinated climate-resilient food and health systems instead of siloed responses. Fragile Economies & Climate Shocks: VP Juldeh Jalloh urged partners to refocus on resilience, stronger public institutions and youth jobs as aid declines and climate shocks hit fragile states harder. IMF Review & Climate Finance: An IMF mission reached staff-level agreement on Sierra Leone’s third ECF review and a request for RSF support to boost resilience to climate change, with debt sustainability and social spending protection flagged. Clean Cooking Strategy: Sierra Leone convened stakeholders to advance its National Clean Cooking Strategy, aiming to cut firewood/charcoal dependence, reduce greenhouse gases and deforestation, and improve air quality and livelihoods through LPG, improved cookstoves and other cleaner options. Mangrove Protection: The NPAA launched Sierra Leone’s chapter of the Global Mangrove Alliance to restore and sustainably manage mangrove wetlands, with leaders warning some sites are deteriorating. Weather Data for Food Security: A new rainfall dataset update (CHIRPS v3) strengthens near-real-time monitoring to support drought warnings and food insecurity planning. Wildlife & Illegal Trade: An EU-supported taskforce seized 735.5kg of pangolin scales, highlighting continued pressure on trafficking networks. World Cup Emissions Spotlight: Reports estimate the 2026 World Cup could emit 7.8 million tons of CO2, driven largely by travel—an environmental reminder for climate-conscious planning.
