Our publications. In-depth insight into our work towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

The UN Sierra Leone Newsletter, published in honor of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026, celebrated globally under the theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL women and girls.” This issue brings together the collective efforts of UN agencies in Sierra Leone, offering a platform to highlight the diversity of our work and to elevate the voices and experiences of women and girls across the country.Within these pages, you will find stories that demonstrate how the UN, in partnership with government, civil society, and communities, is advancing gender equality, strengthening social protection systems, promoting climate resilience, and expanding opportunities for women and girls. These reflections not only showcase meaningful progress but also honor the women and girls whose leadership and resilience drive positive change every day.As we look ahead, our commitment remains steadfast: to ensure that no one is left behind and that women and girls, central to Sierra Leone’s development, are empowered to lead, thrive, and shape a more equitable future. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2025–2030, we continue to forge pathways that align local ambitions with global development goals, supporting Sierra Leone’s vision for a fairer, more sustainable society.We invite you to explore this special issue, reflect on the achievements it captures, and join us in celebrating the inspiring progress toward gender equality.
