Road rehabilitation in the east

WFP and World Vision Sierra Leone (WVSL) have started to rehabilitate the Kenema-Kailahun road - in the Eastern Province -which runs through areas controlled by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) and connects government and ECOMOG-controlled areas.

WSVL will implement the programme through food-for-work supplies provided by WFP.

The road is expected to be an important supply route for humanitarian operations while farmers can use it to take their produce for sale in nearby towns.
