People-centered Sust. Development and Resilience

About this project

Sierra Leone is a least developed country of 8.6 million people, 50.1 per cent of whom are female, 56 per cent live in rural areas, and 75 per cent are aged 35 or below. Poverty is widespread, with 58.0 per cent of the population considered multi-dimensionally poor. Women earn three times less than men in wage employment and in agriculture and therefore women are poorer than men. Women’s livelihood hinges on petty trading, subsistence agriculture, and the service sector . Women account for fifty-four percent of those in agriculture, thirty-seven percent in the service sector, four percent in the skilled labor and three percent in the professional technical labor force
