EU Supports Sierra Leone’s Agricultural Insurance Framework

This week the European Union provided support for a critical stakeholder workshop in Freetown, laying the groundwork for Sierra Leone’s first National Agricultural Insurance Policy and Implementation Roadmap.

Agriculture is the backbone of Sierra Leone's economy, supporting 65% of households., but remains highly vulnerable to climate shocks, holding back investment and growth in the sector

Funded by the EU, the workshop convenes government leaders, insurers, banks, and farmer cooperatives to design a sustainable insurance solution. This initiative, co-led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and UN Capital Development Fund, is a critical component of the Government's flagship strategy, which aims to:

➡️ Protect smallholder farmers from risk.
➡️Unlock agricultural finance and investment.
➡️Build a climate-resilient food system.

The EU is committed to supporting Sierra Leone in developing a more secured and prosperous future for its agricultural sector.

The European Union and Sierra Leone have marked Europe Day 2026 with a celebration of their 50‑year partnership, pledging to deepen cooperation in development, trade, democracy, and security. The event in Freetown brought together government leaders, diplomats, and civil society, underscoring both the historic depth and future ambitions of the relationship.
