Yesterday marked a proud moment for the National Federation of Farmers of Sierra Leone (NaFFSL) as IFAD, led by Madam Pascaline, officially handed over a vehicle to support the Federation’s work nationwide.
Madam Pascaline reaffirmed IFAD’s commitment to empowering rural farmers, strengthening grassroots structures, and supporting agricultural transformation. “NaFFSL is a symbol of resilience, transformative leadership, and strong organization,” she said. She also emphasized that the vehicle is not just a gift, but an investment to enhance NaFFSL’s mobility, advocacy, and connection with its members across Sierra Leone.
Receiving the vehicle, Madam Yatta Samah, President of NaFFSL, described the gesture as a timely intervention, citing the longstanding challenges of reaching farmers across the districts. “Feedsalone cannot succeed without strong farmer organizations,” she stressed.
Representing the Ministry of Agriculture, the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Prince Cole, praised IFAD’s impactful work, especially in supporting Sierra Leone’s agricultural sector and projects like Feedsalone and poultry development.
