    ABIDJAN

    UN agencies are appealing to the international community for just under US$71 million to implement 34 projects in Sierra Leone next year, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Thursday.

    Sectors covered by the projects include: agriculture/food security, child protection, coordination, education, food aid, health and nutrition, human rights, logistics and emergency support, reintegration of refugees/returnees and water and sanitation.

    “The scenarios and strategies outlined in the Appeal are based on a realistic assessment of the situation at hand. In addition to supporting hundreds of thousands of people it will provide an enabling and constructive environment for all efforts aimed at bringing peace to Sierra Leone,” the UN said.

    UN bodies participating in the Consolidated Inter-Agency Appeal for Sierra Leone include FAO, OCHA, UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, UNFPA, the UN Observer Mission in Sierra Leone, WFP and WHO.
