Today's launch is the culmination of many months of intense exchanges and cooperation between my office and colleagues from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development. What we achieved represents a radical shift in the way we work as partners. For the first time private sector partners are in the driving seat in implementing projects to mobilize the economic potential of Sierra Leone.
I am convinced that this new approach can unlock private investment and exploit significant opportunities in the agriculture sector with a specific focus on jobs for youth.
