The National Food and Nutrition Implementation Plan (NFNIP) is the common results framework. It has been reviewed, validated and was launched in July 2015 by the Vice President. The NFNIP and budget has been developed by stakeholders across multiple sectors to translate the goals, objectives and strategies articulated in the draft National Food and Nutrition policy into implementable priority areas and activities. Programmes are aligned around priority areas with the involvement of relevant line ministries, local government and external stakeholder groups. Nine ministerial Focal Persons have been identified to support the implementation of scaled-up interventions and services and there is a need to develop a joint monitoring tool based on outcome indicators. Development of the tool has been postponed due to the Ebola outbreak.
“Our Scale Up Nutrition plans were well underway until last year when Ebola struck with its horrible toll on all facets of society, especially the health sector. However, the Ebola epidemic only slowed our progress, but it has never wiped out our determination and commitment to building a healthy and prosperous Sierra Leone. Food and nutrition security is certainly one endeavor we will pursue without relenting, because, it is a significant dimension of our economic and human development. Our resolve to attain prosperity shall therefore be without hindrance.” – Sierra Leone Vice President, Victor Bockarie Foh, July 2015.
