Emergency Food Security Monitoring System: Measuring the Impact of Covid-19 on Food Security and Vulnerability in Sierra Leone - June 2020.

With 63 percent of the population, or 5.1 million Sierra Leoneans estimated to be food insecure, the latest Food Security Monitoring System report shows further deterioration in the food security situation in the country compared to January 2020 ( 3.9 m people (47.7 %)). This is being exacerbated by the economic downturn and COVID-19 related restrictive measures including lockdown, movement restrictions and market closures.
