IsDB Engages NaCSA on IsDB's Country Engagement Framework Process...

The National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA) has on Tuesday, 6th May 2025, met with a delegation from the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) to discuss critical elements of the IsDB's Country Engagement Framework (CEF) process. The CEF is the process IsDB has adopted to develop country development strategies for its member countries. This strategic meeting was an opportunity for NaCSA to provide an update on the progress of implementation of the second phase of the Sierra Leone Community Driven Development (SLCDD II) project funded by IsDB.


Amb. Ernest Mbaimba Ndomahina, the Commissioner of NaCSA, emphasized the significance of collaborative efforts in achieving sustainable development goals. He expressed heartfelt appreciation for the unwavering support provided by IsDB, noting how it has been instrumental in advancing various projects across the country. The Commissioner further reaffirmed the government’s strong commitment to ensuring the highest standards of quality assurance, maximizing the impact of projects, and promoting sustainability in all aspects of project implementation.


*"The development trajectory of Sierra Leone is strongly centered on the agricultural sector, a direction that has been significantly shaped by the leadership of His Excellency Dr. Julius Maada Bio, who pioneered the Feed Salone agenda. This national development framework aims to enhance food security and promote sustainable farming practices across the nation. As a result, we have already seen considerable progress in agricultural production, rural development, and poverty alleviation. Moving forward, we are committed to building on these achievements, particularly through collaboration with our donor partners such as the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB). Their ongoing technical and financial support is vital in helping us implement innovative agricultural practices, expand access to markets, and improve the livelihoods of farmers throughout Sierra Leone,"* he ended.


During the meeting, Omar Davis, the Country Operations Manager of the Islamic Development Bank, warmly greeted both the government officials and the citizens of Sierra Leone. He expressed the Bank's steadfast commitment to supporting the nation's development efforts in various sectors. *"It is a privilege to be here today," Davis stated, engaging with representatives from the NaCSA to delve into discussions about the Country Engagement Framework. He emphasized the importance of their ongoing collaboration in advancing essential development initiatives throughout Sierra Leone.* He ended.



Momoh Juanah, the Programe Manager for the IsDB funded SLCDD project, delivered a comprehensive update on the project's implementation. He outlined progress, key milestones achieved, available and disbursed funding, geographical areas, and targeted population. The update emphasized the collaborative efforts of the team and stakeholders, showcasing their commitment to ensuring the project's success while adhering to the timeline and budget constraints.



Dr. Susan Robert, the Senior Director forPrograme Development and Quality Assurance, and Md. Regina Saffa, the Senior Director of Programs, addressed the delegates with confidence, emphasizing that the Commission is strategically positioned to effectively continue its efforts in implementing community-driven development initiatives.
