LAVI will strengthen multi-stakeholder partnerships to advocate for and monitor policy and accountability reforms. It contributes to the overall goal of USAID/Liberia’s civil society and media interventions to increase the influence of citizens and media in the governance of public goods and services. The program also supports Development Objective 1 in USAID/Liberia’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) for more effective, accountable, and inclusive governance. LAVI is comprised of four complementary objectives: . Increased horizontal and vertical linkages among actors engaged in similar issues; . Increased organizational capacity of targeted civil society organizations (CSOs) to participate in issue-based reforms; . On-going capacity development services available on the local market; and . Learning and methodologies shared and applied by other development actors. Over the life of the program, DAI will achieve LAVI results by delivering customized technical assistance to CSOs, local service providers, and advocacy networks and coalitions. LAVI will achieve its objectives through grants, local and international short-term technical assistance (STTA), and capacity development to service providers (SPs). During Quarter 2 of Year 2, the LAVI project made the following progress towards its technical objectives: Objective 1 – Strengthen Horizontal and Vertical Linkages Among Actors Engaged in Similar Issues After months of research at the national level and in all 15 counties, the LAVI NRM Coalition validated its Information Gathering report findings on the monitoring and management of the County Social Development Funds in Liberia. This information was used in a four-day Policy Advocacy and Inclusive Citizen Compliance Monitoring Workshop at which the NRM Coalition developed a comprehensive framework that included advocacy goals, objectives, strategies, messaging, and activities. The NRM Coalition mobilized its resources to begin the roll out of its advocacy, citizen compliance monitoring, media, and capacity strengthening activities throughout the country. Complementary government activities, focused on citizen-government engagement, were implemented by NBC, FDA, EPA and LEITI, including the facilitation of several community-level dialogues, environmental social impact assessments, and town hall meetings in concession affected communities. In Quarter 2, LAVI made progress on identifying the topic for its next Thematic Funding Window, the launch of which will begin in Quarter 3. Objective 2 – Increase Organizational Capacity of Targeted CSOs to Participate in Issue- Based Reforms Based on LAVI operational and advocacy capacity assessments, eight of LAVI’s partners developed capacity development plans (CDPs) that reflect the mutually agreed upon gaps and recommendations from the assessments and include the partners’ self-identified priority areas for LAVI support. Seven capacity development grants were approved by USAID in March 2017 to implement the CDPs. Common areas prioritized by partners included monitoring and evaluation, gender mainstreaming, and finance and administration. LAVI and LAVI partners including P4DP, Accountability Lab Liberia, DEN-L, and LMC hosted several capacity development trainings for the NRM Coalition in direct support of their advocacy work in Quarter 2. Topics included M&E basics,

    LIBERIA MARKET PRICE MONITOR a Monthly Price Analysis of Food and Other Essential Commodities

    BULLETIN 27 July 2012 LIBERIA MARKET PRICE MONITOR A monthly price analysis of food and other essential commodities INTRODUCTION This 27th edition of the Liberia Market Price Monitor1 summarizes the price changes for commonly consumed staple foods as well as other essential non‐food commodities that have potential of being exchanged for food between May and July 2012. The Liberia Market Price Monitor aims to inform stakeholders on the changes in food price over time, at different locations and in different seasons; and on how prices of staples change relative to other local commodities that are key sources of income for vulnerable households. Highlights • Currently, retail prices of the basic staple, rice are substantially higher (22 percent) than the same period in 2011 in most parts of the country, though relatively stable since April 2012; • The refugee hosting county of Grand Gedeh continues to witness huge increases in prices of basic commodities including that of rice that rose up by 6 percent between May and July 2012. Palm oil and gasoline prices were up by 17 and 23 percent higher than the same period of last year. • World rice prices remain firm with a slight drop in July 2012, mainly attributed to good export availability and stable demand, though continued stock uncertainties may lead to global price volatility; • Meanwhile, the cereal market is already signaling the impact of the ongoing drought in USA heightening renewed threats of another round of global rise in food prices; • Casual laborers continue to experience decline in their food purchasing power as a result of the relatively high prices of imported rice with the worst affected county being Grand Gedeh due to double pressure on wage rate by the refugees; • Food security situation of the vulnerable households in parts of southeastern Liberia—mainly Grand Gedeh remains precarious as the region awaits the harvest season in the coming two months.

Current estimates indicate that over 50,000 have returned since December 2003. UNHCR has registered more than 15,000 from Sierra Leone; 40% have ended up in camps in the Monrovia area along with IDPs as the conditions in their places of origin are not yet conducive for safe return. In the camp setting, returnees receive protection and assistance in the form of shelter, non-food items, trauma counselling, medical support, food from WFP and emergency Perry Town waystation [Photo: UNHCR, S.Brownell] schooling for the children. 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.
