Launch of the Demographic Dividend in Sierra Leone

The Demographic Dividend was launched by His Excellency the President, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma  in April 2017.  The launch attracted a large number of government ministers, diplomats, media representatives and members of the public. The launch provided the Government of Sierra Leone with an opportunity to reaffirm its commitments to empower youth through the development of a roadmap. The launch also provided a platform for UNFPA and development partners to advocate for improved engagement with young people.
