What a joy to spend time with the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help WFP reach those who need us most, while keeping us safe every step of the journey, especially in hard-to-reach areas of Sierra Leone.

Always a pleasure to catch up with my brother, @andrewnamodero, Representative of @WFPS_Leone.
As one UN, we each bring different strengths, but we are united by a shared commitment to improving the lives of women, girls and communities across Sierra Leone. 🇸🇱
Thank you, Andrew, for the thoughtful conversation, for sharing WFP’s Country Strategic Plan, and for reaffirming the power of partnership. I look forward to building on our collaboration to deliver even greater impact.
