Field Engagement Underway – , & || As part of the Environmental & Social Impact Assessment for the proposed Sierra Leone Regional Agro-Industrial Growth & Irrigation Corridor Project, our team at Richflood Ltd (Environmental and Social Standards) has commenced structured stakeholder consultations across the project districts.
Safeguards are built on listening.
This week, our focus has been on:
• Community-level consultations with farmers and landowners
• Mapping livelihood dependencies and land-use patterns
• Identifying vulnerable groups requiring targeted safeguards
• Understanding irrigation water use and biodiversity sensitivities
Responsible agricultural expansion must protect livelihoods while unlocking productivity.
