International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)’s Post

International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) reposted this

Today, we welcomed a group of dedicated young farmers and #agripreneurs from Sierra Leone to IITA’s headquarters in Ibadan for an intensive 2-week training as part of the Food Systems Resilience Program (FSRP). Funded by the World Bank and the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), this part of the initiative aims to equip these participants with the skills and knowledge needed to strengthen food security in their communities. Over the next two weeks, they’ll engage in both theoretical and hands-on sessions focused on #cassava and #maize value chains, preparing them to build a more resilient and #sustainable #foodsystem in Sierra Leone.

Thanks IITA for the opportunity! The two industries #CassavaMaize have a lot of potential for youth and women under the #FeedSalone program. We believe that placing these young minds at the center stage of the #FeedSalone drive is a way forward to solving the problems of hunger and poverty #agriprenuership #GoSL #WorldBank
