The First Lady of Sierra Leone, Her Excellency Fatima Maada Bio, today welcomed the UN Women Head of Office in Sierra Leone, Madam Setcheme Jeronine Mongbo, and her team to her office for a high-level engagement focused on enhancing collaboration.
In a statement shared on her official Facebook page, the First Lady described the meeting as “very productive,” noting that discussions centered around strengthening cooperation between her office and UN Women in support of gender equality and women’s empowerment initiatives in Sierra Leone.
“We held a very productive discussion on ways to strengthen cooperation between UN Women and my office,” she wrote.
