  • Nimba's Profile
    Nimba’s Profile The Flag of Nimba County: - (Valor, Purity and Fidelity reflected in the stripes) Nimba was part of the central province of Liberia which included Bong and Lofa. It became a full-fledged county in 1964 when President William V.S. Tubman changed the provinces into counties. Nimba became one of the original nine counties of Liberia. Over the years, other sub-divisions have been added making the total of 15 counties. Nimba is located in the North-East Region of the country. The size of Nimba is 4,650 square miles. In his book, Liberia Facing Mount Nimba, Dr. Nya Kwiawon Taryor, Sr. revealed that the name of the county "Nimba", originated from "Nenbaa ton" which means slippery mountain where beautiful young girls slip and fall. Mount Nimba is the highest mountain in Liberia. Nimba is the second largest county in Liberia in terms of population. Before the civil war in 1989, there were over 313,050 people in the county according to the 1984 census. Now Nimba Population has increased to 462,026. Nimba is also one of the richest in Liberia. It has the largest deposit of high grade iron ore. Other natural resources found in Nimba are gold, diamonds, timber, etc. In the late 50's, Nimba's huge iron ore reserve was exploited by LAMCO-the Liberian-American Swedish Mining Company. A considerable portion of Liberia's Gross Domestic Product, GDP, was said to have been generated from revenues from Nimba's iron ore for several years. The Flag of Nimba County: - (Valor, Purity and Fidelity reflected in the stripes) There are negotiations going on for a new contract for the iron ore in Nimba.

  • 2008 National Population and Housing Census: Preliminary Results
    GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA 2008 NATIONAL POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS: PRELIMINARY RESULTS LIBERIA INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS AND GEO-INFORMATION SERVICES (LISGIS) MONROVIA, LIBERIA JUNE 2008 FOREWORD Post-war socio-economic planning and development of our nation is a pressing concern to my Government and its development partners. Such an onerous undertaking cannot be actualised with scanty, outdated and deficient databases. Realising this limitation, and in accordance with Article 39 of the 1986 Constitution of the Republic of Liberia, I approved, on May 31, 2007, “An Act Authorizing the Executive Branch of Government to Conduct the National Census of the Republic of Liberia”. The country currently finds itself at the crossroads of a major rehabilitation and reconstruction. Virtually every aspect of life has become an emergency and in resource allocation, crucial decisions have to be taken in a carefully planned and sequenced manner. The publication of the Preliminary Results of the 2008 National Population and Housing Census and its associated National Sampling Frame (NSF) are a key milestone in our quest towards rebuilding this country. Development planning, using the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS), decentralisation and other government initiatives, will now proceed into charted waters and Government’s scarce resources can be better targeted and utilized to produce expected dividends in priority sectors based on informed judgment. We note that the statistics are not final and that the Final Report of the 2008 Population and Housing Census will require quite sometime to be compiled. In the interim, I recommend that these provisional statistics be used in all development planning for and in the Republic of Liberia.

  • From Our Own Mouths: OUR LIFE, OUR CULTURE
    1 From Our Own Mouths: OUR LIFE, OUR CULTURE Stories for Liberian Youth by Liberian Learners, Teachers, Principals in USAID/CESLY Alternative Basic Education 2 USAID’S CORE EDUCATION SKILLS FOR LIBERIAN YOUTH PROJECT August 2011 3 Foreword The following story has been developed through the support of USAID’s Core Education Skills for Liberian Youth (CESLY) program. The USAID/CESLY project seeks to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for Liberian youth and young adults. USAID/CESLY increases access to education among Liberian youth through alternative basic education, enhances the overall quality of teaching, and collaborates with government and community organizations toward long-term sustainability of education for youth in Liberia. The project helps Liberian young people develop the skills and attitudes necessary to progress in the conventional academic system, transition into skills training or livelihoods, maintain healthy lifestyles and participate in their communities. One of the key focus areas of the USAID/CESLY project is the promotion a culture of reading among youth in Liberia. When reading skills are strengthened, performance in all content areas are likely to improve. Currently, a great scarcity of locally produced materials in schools leading to a high level of over 4 dependency on educational materials used by learners that are externally produced and lack local orientation and context. These are therefore difficult for facilitators and learners to understand and practicalize. Or more commonly, there is little to read-- so most often, people don’t read. In occasional cases, where reading is done, learners memorize the same book and recite it over and over again.

Sierra Leone reported 63 new confirmed cases and transmission remains widespread, including a spike of 20 new confirmed cases in Bombali linked to a cluster of cases in the Aberdeen fishing community in Freetown. There were 14 new confirmed cases in Freetown over the same period, with cases still arising from unknown chains of transmission. Liberia reported 1 new confirmed case, which originated from a registered contact associated with a known chain of transmission in Monrovia. 4. In addition to cases arising from unknown chains of transmission, a total of 16 new confirmed cases were identified in Guinea and Sierra Leone after post-mortem testing of individuals who died in the community, indicating that a significant number of individuals are still either unable or reluctant to seek treatment.

    PROSPER PEOPLE, RULES AND ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING THE PROTECTION OF ECOSYSTEM RESOURCES BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT REPORT Prepared by Fauna and Flora International November 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a rapid biodiversity assessment of five forests in Liberia, which have been selected by the USAID PROSPER project for the development of community forestry: the Sayee Community Forest (CF), Gblor CF and Big Gio CF in Nimba County, and the Barconnie CF and Kortor CF in Grand Bassa County. The Big Gio Forest is under jurisdiction of four clans (Gblor, Sehzuplay, Quilla and Beatuo), but forms one contiguous forest block and therefore was assessed as a single unit. The biodiversity assessment intended to identify conservation values in the proposed CF sites and to set a baseline as reference for the evaluation of the project’s impact and achievements during and by the end of the project. The assessment focused on forest condition, 40 faunal indicator species (31 mammals, 7 birds, 2 reptiles) and the identification of main threats. Rapid assessment tools included participatory mapping, interviews of local hunters, one-day forest walks and a desk review. An Ecological Integrity Index (EcoIntex) was calculated for three taxonomic groups (primates, duikers and hornbills) and used for the comparison of the ecological intactness of the CF sites with that of other forest blocks in Liberia: Sapo National Park, Cestos- Senkwehn, Cestos-Gbi, Grebo and Nimba-Northeast. Sayee Community Forest The Sayee CF lies within the Liberian part of Mount Nimba Range, an area of significant conservation value within the Upper Guinean Rainforest. The site of interest is a comparatively small piece of 600-700 hectares of Primary Forest that remains on a mountain called Mount Dehton.
