Transform Africa: Improving Cassava Processing Enterprises in Northern Communities Sierra Leone

Cassava is a staple food crop in Sierra Leone but the Northern Province, struggling to recover from the effects of the protected civil war and the Ebola crisis, imports expensive cassava from other parts of the country. Local cassava farmers and processors, unable to access the services and support they need to increase yields and produce reasonably priced cassava products, are unable to fill this gap in the market. This project aims to enable cassava farmers and processors to form commercially viable cooperatives able to access the training, machinery and financial support needed to bring high quality, locally sourced cassava products to market and, as they grow, create local jobs.
