We bring you warm greetings from the UNFPA Sierra Leone Country Office and wishes for a prosperous 2022. We are delighted to present the last edition of the UNFPA Sierra Leone newsletter for 2021. Among others, we showcase the establishment of Adolescent and Youth Sexual Reproductive Health Hubs for easy access to sexual and reproductive health information and services by adolescent girls and young women in the Koinadugu district.

As we enter 2022, the UNFPA Sierra Leone Country Office is glad to note the Executive Board’s approval of UNFPA’s new Strategic Plan for 2022–2025. As with all other country offices, we see this new plan as a call to action towards the accelerated implementation of the country’s transformative goals and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Sierra Leone. It also provides an opportunity for increased commitment to accelerating the implementation of the International Conference on Population and Development ICPD programme of action.
