WORLD VISION SIERRA LEONE

Expression of Interest for the Supply of Livestock (Sheep and Chicken)

1. Context: Give a background of the project

World Vision International Sierra Leone (WVISL) is implementing a strategic livestock initiative aimed at tackling critical challenges, including food insecurity, poverty, economic stagnation, and gender inequality. With growing demand for meat both locally and across the region, livestock-rearing and processing facilities present promising opportunities for investment and development.

Despite its significant economic and nutritional potential, Sierra Leone’s livestock sector continues to face major hurdles, such as insufficient public funding, reliance on imported livestock products, and limited access to essential resources and services for rural farmers.

In response, WVISL will support local farmers by providing livestock products, particularly meat and eggs, two of the most widely traded commodities. This intervention is designed to stimulate sustainable livelihood opportunities for vulnerable households, empowering them to provide essential care and support for their children.
