Sierra Leone Agriculture: Rebuilding Bandajuma, Rehabilitating Cocoa Plantations
In this video, Kirstie and Esteban visit Bandajuma Togboma in the Eastern Provinces with Welthungerhilfe to learn more about their support to cocoa farmers through the PROACT project. Once destroyed by the war, with Ngoyia – unity – the people of Bandajuma are continuing to rehabilitate their coca plantations and regrow their town.
The ProResilience Action (PROACT) is a huge EU funded initiative implemented with the support of government partners and three NGOs – COOPI and InterAide in the northern provinces and Welthungerhlife in the East. The PROACT project’s overall goal is to improve food security in Sierra Leone by fostering smallholder agriculture.
