Social and Environmental Issues

Social and Environmental Issues in Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone faces several social and environmental challenges:

Social Issues: Despite progress since the end of the civil war, poverty remains widespread. Access to quality education and healthcare is limited, particularly in rural areas. Efforts are ongoing to improve infrastructure and social services.
Environmental Issues: Deforestation, mining activities, and climate change have led to environmental degradation. The government, along with international partners, is working on sustainable practices to address these concerns.
