  • 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 Such an onerous undertaking cannot be actualised with scanty, outdated and deficient databases.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.

    WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION LIBERIA HEALTH UPDATE 5 September 2003 WHO/OMS I. Humanitarian situation in Monrovia: Water and sanitation in general Water and sanitation problems are massive in Liberia, only 32% of Liberia’s population has access to clean drinking water and less than 30% of the people have access to latrines. A large amount of the population depends on wells and many of these wells are not protected. The city of Monrovia has had no regular garbage collection since 1996. Refuse collection has been carried out on an occasional basis by NGOs and the municipality of Monrovia. In March this year, garbage collection collapsed completely. UNICEF and its partners under the Water and Sanitation Committee are taking the lead in solving the garbage problem. New population movements underway Over 90 camps in Monrovia provide shelter to at least 250,000 displaced people. According to latest information, a new population wave is on the move towards Monrovia. Over 50,000 people are fleeing from fighting in Totota in Bomi County toward Salala and a few have been reported to trickle into Monrovia to escape the rebels. UN agencies and NGOs are working on contingency plans to avoid the arrival of more internally displaced people in the already overcrowded camps in the capital. Humanitarian aid agencies hope to halt the population movement to Salala, Bomi County. Situation in the camps in Monrovia About 45,000 displaced people live in the SKD Stadium which is the biggest camp in Monrovia. Daily heavy rainfall makes living conditions in the camp even more difficult.

  • 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.

An estimated 20,000 have been returning from Guinea to Lofa County, mostly going to their districts of origin in what appear to be “go and see visits”. Meanwhile, there are reports that significant numbers are returning from Côte d’Ivoire due mainly to the prevailing security situation in that country. An estimated 5,000 have crossed into Grand Gedeh. High numbers of returnees have also been observed in the Counties of Bong, Grand Cape Mount, Maryland, Montserrado and Nimba.

    Republic of Liberia REPORT 2010 Land Commission Consultations Land Commission Consultations 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was compiled and written by the Program Staff of the Technical Secretariat of the Land Commission (LC) under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Stanley N. Toe, Land Policy and Program Development Officer. The Technical Secretariat extends its profound appreciation and gratitude to Chairman Brandy and other Commissioners of the LC for their unflinching support to this undertaking from the inception stage to the conclusion.

  • Liberia Waterpoint Atlas
    Liberia Waterpoint Atlas Final Review Version 31.8.2011 Liberia WASH Consortium Please send comments to Maximilian Hirn: [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Liberian Waterpoint Atlas is the result of a comprehensive mapping exercise carried out in 2011. Led by the Ministry of Public Works, all improved waterpoints of Liberia were surveyed – over 10,000 in total. This Atlas not only provides detailed maps of these, but also a systematic analysis of the collected data. The in-depth information has yielded insights that provide the empirical basis for investment planning and help formulate basic policy recommendations. Among the many aspects of Liberia’s waterpoint infrastructure described in this Atlas, five critical insights and associated recommendations stand out: Five Insights & Recommendations A clear case for increased investment: There are over 10,000 improved waterpoints in Liberia, of which just above 60% are fully functional. This is not enough. Over 800,000 Liberians are entirely uncovered, and over 2 million lack adequate access. More than 1,700 schools do not have an improved waterpoint. To ensure improved access for all Liberians and each school, another 10,000 points are needed. There is thus a clear empirical case for funding an initial 8,200 points as envisaged in the Sector Strategic Plan. Prioritize – lack of access is concentrated in a narrow corridor: More than 75% of Liberians without adequate access to improved water are concentrated in a narrow “corridor of need” around major roads and towns (see Map 4). Funding for communal waterpoints should thus be distributed between counties based on relative lack of access and then prioritized across districts along the corridor of highest need.
