The NRDS will have to be integrated into other Policy frameworks such as the Water and Sanitation Policy, the
Medium Term Expenditure Framework, and the Rural and Private Sector Development Strategy which is
jointly administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Trade
Current programmes in Sierra Leone are funded by multiple donors who had developed their own projects
before the completion of the NRDS. As such we could identify some key implementation issues:
■The Government does not have complete control over budget decisions by donors
■Budgets are not aligned with key value chain activities
■There is a need for the NRDS to be mainstreamed into the whole programme of the Ministry
At the current moment the NRDS is not a costed strategy and only exists as a thematic document
■This makes articulating the resource needs of the different value chain activities a challenge for the
Ministry.View entire presentation
