Commitment
Increased Domestic Spending on Nutrition-Specific and Nutrition-Sensitive Intervention
Description
The government of Sierra Leone will institutionalise multisectoral nutrition budget tagging, tracking and evaluation within the annual budgeting process and increase expenditure on nutrition-specific, nutrition-sensitive and climate-smart interventions. By 2027, the government will allocate the annual budget for nutrition activities to six Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), ensuring at least 50% of the annual allocated amounts are disbursed within the same budget year.
