    Outcome progress note for the year

    Outcome 4: Women's equitable access to services, goods and resources

    The Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment policy aims at mainstreaming gender into all development and political processes in Sierra Leone to ensure livelihood and social protection for women, men, boys and girls for sustainable peace and economic growth. It ensures that men, women, girls and boys benefit equally from all development interventions in all sectors and that inequality and discrimination of any type are not perpetuated at the national and local levels. It draws on relevant national instruments such as the 1991 Constitution and other National Policy Frameworks that the government of Sierra Leone has adopted to promote gender mainstreaming and national development as well as regional and international instruments that Sierra Leone has ratified. These include: National Policy on Gender Mainstreaming; the three Gender Justice Acts; the Child Rights Act; the Anti-Human Traffic Act; the Sexual Offences Act 2012; Sierra Leone National Action Plan for the implementation of UNSCR 1325; the Amended Sexual Offences Act 2019; Sierra Leone's Medium-Term National Development Plan 2019-2023; the Male Involvement Strategy; CEDAW; MDGs, UNSC Resolution 1325 (2000) on Women, peace and security and The Maputo Declaration on Gender Mainstreaming and Effective Participation of Women in the Africa Union. The policy analyzes the current situation of women in Sierra Leone from gender perspectives. It further provides broad and specific objectives to ensure the achievement of gender equality and women's empowerment; and articulates the strategic and institutional frameworks and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure effective implementation. It contains thirteen critical areas of concern which were identified by stakeholders including women's groups, youth, traditional and religious leaders, parliamentarians, law enforcement and persons with disabilities in very participatory consultative meetings held in all regions of the country to ensure ownership.

    Sierra Leone benefits from a more productive, commercialized and sustainable agriculture, improved food and nutrition security, and increased resilience to climate change and other shocks

    The CO investment in WEE intervention in hard to reach areas resulted to an increase in agricultural yields by 40% for 1020 women farmers living in hard-to-reach communities, and enhanced resilience to climate shocks and challenges posed by erratic weather patterns in the hard-to-reach communities. The investment supports rural farmers on sustainable climate-smart agriculture, improve their seedling varieties, provide access to farming lands, solar-powered irrigation systems, mechanized tools, fostered market linkages to profitable businesses for women farmers in the rural areas and strengthened capacity of farmers on sustainable farming practices in the concerned value chains (e.g.: rice, cassava, maize, onion, orange flesh potato, and palm oil). UN Women is promoting women’s business centers, a digital application, the “Women’s Digital Market Square” for women-owned businesses to showcase their products, network with customers, and have access to adaptive resources and profitable markets ( https://www.unwomenmarketsquare.org/home ).
