Sierra Leone

Also suffering from extreme hunger is the West African country of Sierra Leone, despite a drop from 40.4 in 2010 to 35.7 in 2018.

The country, which also depends on agriculture, has been suffering from poor crop output and effects of the civil war that ended in 2001 as well as the Ebola outbreak of 2014, which affected economic development and food security.
