As Plan International turns 40 years in dedicated service to Children in Sierra Leone, Youth Empowerment becomes critical. Plan is currently implementing the Post Ebola Early Recovery Strategic Framework 2015. In this plan, there is a strong focus on Livelihood support focusing on Women and Youth engagement to strengthen their income base to build their resilience against the effects of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

On Friday 13th May 2016 The Minister of Youth Affairs Mr. Bai Mahmoud Bangura teamed up with Plan International Sierra Leone on a two- day working visit to the National Youth Farm at Masiaka.

The purpose of the visit by the newly appointed Minister of Youth Affairs was to conduct a tour to update himself on project achievements and challenges and to develop a revised road map to respond to the immediate next steps of the ongoing projects.

As a way to boost the country’s economy and to rebrand the tourism industry, the Monuments and Relics Commission (MRC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs has on Thursday revealed to journalists about the on-going project for the enclosure and renovations of some historical sites.

Highlighting some of the benefits in rebranding the tourism section, the Deputy Minister of Cultural Affairs, Honourable Dixon Bella Fofanah noted the hard work of the commission in using the available fund appropriately adding that the desire to create the said revenue needs government’s full support.
