Sierra Leone, like many other countries in the region, is impacted by natural events such as more frequent floods, rising sea levels and coastal erosion, among others. Flooding disasters and its consequent waterborne diseases exacerbated by lack of safe drinking water are important causes of mortality and morbidity. They also come with social and economic consequences. The former through resource related conflicts, internal displacement and migration; and the latter by decreasing productivity of economic sectors with unintended consequences for sustainable development.
