The SUN & Food Systems Coordination Unit unites government, partners, and communities to combat malnutrition and secure a nourished future for all. Freetown Sierra LeoneJoined March 2025
Sierra Leone is putting nutrition at the heart of its future!
For the first time ever, the Ministry of Finance has made the national budget nutrition-responsive — a historic milestone for the country. The FY2026 Budget Circular now directs all MDAs to identify and tag nutrition.
Sierra Leone just validated its national food systems review!
Led by @SUNFSCU_SL with @FAO & EU support, the workshop brought together all 16 districts + key ministries.
Thanks to @UN_SierraLeone, @EUinSierraLeone, @MAFS_SL & all contributors.

We couldn’t be happier about this - the adoption of Minimum Dietary Diversity in the SDG framework will give governments, policy makers and international organizations a key tool to formulate evidence-based strategies that can improve diets fao.org/newsroom/detai…
