This programme targets a range of benefits, including economic growth (through the creation of enterprises and jobs for men and women), reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and improvements in health as a result of clean cooking methods (particularly for women and young children). The programme has expanded considerably in scope since its initial design, and now implements 17 projects as opposed to the 10 originally planned. This means that the portfolio of RBF approaches has the potential to gather an even broader range of lessons than had first been anticipated. Already the approach taken in this programme is influencing the wider energy access community.

  • Liberia Short Mission Brief
    Liberia Short Mission Brief I. Activity Summary Overview Nearly 25 years of international peace missions in Liberia offer lessons of how multilateral cooperation, focused effort and resolute action can end conflict and keep peace in a troubled neighborhood. Indeed, since 2003 UNMIL has kept the peace. Yet, over this same period, and even going back to the earlier interventions, misaligned interests among the dominant actors and missed opportunities have plagued the missions. In particular, peace missions have done precious little to address, let alone solve, the central drivers of Liberia’s conflict, strengthen local institutions or assist the process of rebuilding trust between the government and the Liberian people. This suggests there are limitations of peace missions as vehicles for state building and development, at least as the missions are currently structured. As the UN moves to shutter UNMIL this becomes particularly visible, along with the broader challenges of closing a mission amid pervasive instability. Background Liberia has suffered from successive, regionally interconnected wars that, at various times, directly included neighboring Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Côte d’Ivoire, while indirectly involving many other states such as Burkina Faso and Libya, in addition to a plethora of near-constantly morphing non-state armed groups. The conflict killed at least tens of thousands[i]. One in four Liberians were displaced.[ii] The economy contracted by 90%.[iii] Life expectancy bottomed out at less than 50 years[iv]. Illiteracy and unemployment skyrocketed. Even today, after 12 years of UNMIL-enforced peace, 84% of Liberians continue to live on less than $1.25/day[v].

  • The Role of Civil Society in National Reconciliation and Peacebuilding in Liberia
    International Peace Academy The Role of Civil Society in National Reconciliation and Peacebuilding in Liberia by Augustine Toure APRIL 2002 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The International Peace Academy wishes to acknowledge the support provided by the Government of the Netherlands which made the research and publication of this study possible. ABOUT IPA’S CIVIL SOCIETY PROGRAM This report forms part of IPA’s Civil Society Project which, between 1998 and 1999, involved case studies on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau. IPA held a seminar, in partnership with the Organization of African Unity (OAU), in Cape Town in 1996 on “Civil Society and Conflict Management in Africa” consisting largely of civil society actors from all parts of Africa. An IPA seminar organized in partnership with the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) in Senegal in December 1999 on “War, Peace and Reconciliation in Africa” prominently featured civil society actors from all of Africa’s sub-regions. In the current phase of its work, IPA Africa Program’s Peacebuilding in Africa project is centered around the UN community and involves individuals from civil society, policy, academic and media circles in New York. The project explores ways of strengthening the capacity of African actors with a particular focus on civil society, to contribute to peacemaking and peacebuilding in countries dealing with or emerging from conflicts. In implementing this project, IPA organizes a series of policy fora and Civil Society Dialogues. In 2001, IPA initiated the Ruth Forbes Young fellowship to bring one civil society representative from Africa to spend a year in New York.

  • Lessons Learned from Power-Sharing in Africa
    8/2008 Lessons Learned from Power-Sharing in Africa Håvard Strand, Centre for the Study of Civil War (CSCW) Scott Gates, Centre for the Study of Civil War (CSCW) Several power-sharing agreements have been reached in Africa over the last decades. This project has compared the experiences of various forms of power-sharing in five countries, Bu- rundi, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. The cases differ significantly both with regard to the implementation of power-sharing and the rationale for adopting such institutions. Our conclusions is that power-sharing institutions have proven themselves useful in some countries and less so in others. The most positive experiences have been in the peace processes of Sierra Leone and Liberia, where power-sharing played a vital role in securing peace. There are less clear support for power-sharing institutions with regard to good governance. Introduction tions.

Riders’ vision is of a world in which no one will die of an easily preventable or curable disease because barriers of distance, terrain, or poverty prevent them from being reached. Riders’ mission is to strengthen health systems by addressing transport and logistics—one of the most neglected, yet vital, aspects of development for the health of Africa. Riders for Health manages motorcycles, ambulances, and other four-wheel vehicles used in the delivery of health care in seven countries across Africa. They work with ministries of health, international and African NGOs, private-sector organizations, local community-based organizations, and religious groups, to improve access to health care for over 21 million people. Riders’ programs provide training and employment opportunities to build local capacity. Their network of highly skilled technicians regularly travels to service vehicles in the communities that health workers serve. This means that health workers don’t waste valuable time traveling to a garage when they could be with their patients. Impact Riders for Health reports serving roughly 14 million people, with operations in the Gambia, Liberia and Lesotho, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria.

  • Phases of the MBB Liberian Initiative As It Pertains to Buduburam Former
    The Liberian Initiative After an invitation by a resident of Ghana’s largest refugee camp, MBB began to contribute to the rebuilding of Liberia and its people, devastated by civil war. The invitations grew, as MBB heard from community members and leaders, the largest university, government agencies, and local NGOs and churches. MBB team members have made eight assessment and intervention visits, all self-funded or through the generosity of private donors. Through those visits, the MBB team has developed eight key interdependent components of the Liberian Initiative. The first module helped create a community mediation service and student peer mediation clubs among Liberians living at the Buduburam Settlement in Ghana. The second module involves efforts to rehabilitate, reintegrate, and restore the lives of Liberia’s former child soldiers who are residents of Buduburam. None of the former child soldiers has participated in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process (DDR) established by and under the direction of the UN High Commission on Refugees. MBB works, in conjunction with local partners, with these former child soldiers and with the communities that will receive them. The third module involves capacity building in Liberia. To date, MBB has provided mediation and conflict resolution training, in Ghana and Liberia, to lawyers, tribal chiefs, land administrators, police and prison officials, several NGOs’ staff, and university graduate students. The fourth module is aimed at designing and implementing interventions to address the need for trauma healing countrywide. Involving international mental health professional-partners and Liberian lay counselors, this effort will promote immediate healing and establish systems for ongoing psychological support and restoration.

  • Liberia: Background and U.S
    Liberia: Background and U.S. Relations February 14, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46226 SUMMARY R46226 Liberia: Background and U.S. Relations February 14, 2020 Introduction. Congress has shown enduring interest in Liberia, a small coastal West African country of about 4.8 million people. The United States played a key role in the Tomas F. Husted country’s founding, and bilateral ties generally have remained close despite significant Analyst in African Affairs strains during Liberia’s two civil wars (1989-1997 and 1999-2003). Congress has appropriated considerable foreign assistance for Liberia, and has held hearings on the country’s postwar trajectory and development. In recent years, congressional interest partly has centered on the immigration status of over 80,000 Liberian nationals resident in the United States. Liberia participates in the House Democracy Partnership, a U.S. House of Representatives legislative- strengthening initiative that revolves around peer-to-peer engagement. Background. Liberia’s conflicts caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, spurred massive displacement, and devastated the country’s economy and infrastructure, aggravating existing development challenges. Postwar foreign assistance supported a recovery characterized by high economic growth and modest improvements across various sectors. An Ebola outbreak from 2014-2016 cut short this progress; nearly 5,000 Liberians died from the virus, which overwhelmed the health system and spurred an economic recession. The outbreak also exposed enduring governance challenges, including weak state institutions, poor service delivery, official corruption, and public distrust of government. Politics. Optimism surrounding the 2018 inauguration of President George Weah—which marked Liberia’s first electoral transfer of power since 1944—arguably has waned as his administration has become embroiled in a series of corruption scandals and the country has encountered new economic headwinds.

  • EU Mobilises €84 Million for Four African Countries
    European Commission - Press release Coronavirus Global Response: EU mobilises €84 million for four African countries Brussels, 18 December 2020 The European Commission today announced the mobilisation of €84.26 million in support of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in four African countries: Benin, Central African Republic, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, declared that: "Our comprehensive response to the coronavirus is to offer urgent support to our partner countries in their efforts to respond to the health and socio-economic impact of the crisis. Beyond that, it involves planning the recovery in the long term so that together we can build a greener, fairer and more sustainable world for future generations. I am convinced that Europe's engagement towards our African partners will make it possible to achieve these two key objectives." The new EU funds will benefit the fight against coronavirus in the following countries: Benin (€46.56 million), Central African Republic (€14 million), Liberia (€8.7 million), and Sierra Leone (€15 million). These countries, which are all long-standing partners of the European Union, will be able to provide their populations with increased health and social protection support in 2021 at the same time as support to their business sector during this difficult period. Background Benin The European Union is providing €46.56 million in budget support to Benin in response to the economic and health consequences of COVID-19. These funds will help increase the government's fiscal leeway in terms of financial measures addressing the pandemic, particularly for the most vulnerable and for business.
