Sierra Leone’s agricultural sector is set to benefit from a three-million-dollar investment financing from the United States government.
The fund through USAID in partnership with Pangea Global Ventures is under a joint initiative undertaken to support qualified Sierra Leonean small and medium agricultural enterprises.
The two-year project also seeks to expose Freetown to international impact investors, unlocking the affordable financing necessary for local businesses to grow, generate employment, and increase profitability.
U.S. Ambassador to Sierra Leone Bryan David Hunt reiterated his country’s commitment to collaborate with the private sector and government for a more attractive investment climate that will transition the economy toward the one envisioned in the country’s recently launched “Feed Salone” strategy.
This activity is part of the ongoing U.S. Government commitment to advance democracy, health, and prosperity in line with the aspirations of the Sierra Leonean people.
