The study was conducted to assess the impact of improved cassava varieties and associated agronomic technologies in reducing poverty in Sierra Leone. The study has provided insight into an understanding of (i) the socio-economic profile of cassava farmers and a description of their agricultural activities related to cassava production, (ii) adoption of improved cassava varieties by farmers in the intervention areas, and (iii) the impact of adoption of cassava varieties on farm yield, per capita expenditure, and poverty reduction.
