Also available in:
No results found.Improving access to food through broad-based participation in income-generating activities in key agricultural supply chains, together with the development of safety nets that protect the welfare of Liberias diverse types of vulnerable individuals and households represent two of the major food security challenges facing the Liberian government after fourteen years of civil conflict. Responding to these challenges will depend largely on how the government responds to five major challenges in tra nsitioning from an emergency situation to one focused on long-term development: 1) resettling IDPs and reintegrating ex-combatants; 2) reducing the real cost of food; 3) improving macroeconomic management and governance; 4) generating broad-based growth in rural incomes through smallholder development; and 5) developing public sector capacity to analyze, plan, prioritize, coordinate and monitor policies and programs. Success in addressing these issues may depend largely on the ability to go be yond strictly technical responses to develop innovative actions that take into account the numerous and complex socio-political factors existing in the country in the post-conflict period. -

FAO Programme Review 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF) collaborates with several African countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Liberia, to enhance resilience building efforts. FAO is implementing programs in Liberia to enhance resilience, aligning with government priorities and key policies. The Resilience Building Programme focuses on policy interventions covering food security, nutrition, land, livestock, fisheries, and environment. FAO promotes sustainable food systems, supports value chain development, enhances agricultural governance, and strengthens capacities of relevant institutions. The organization also supports responsible agrifood systems, facilitates investments in various agriculture value chains, and collaborates with the government to improve infrastructure and create an enabling environment for investments. Cross-cutting areas include gender equality, youth empowerment, climate change mitigation, and environmental protection. FAO's initiatives in Liberia aim to strengthen preventive, anticipatory, absorptive, adaptive, and transformational capacities to empower local communities and foster sustainable development. This document reflects an analysis of ongoing FAO Liberia resilience building interventions and how they contribute towards the five capacities for resilience building, namely: Preventive: reduce existing and future risks; Anticipative: act early; Absorptive: the ability to bounce back, overwhelmingly humanitarian (emergency response); Adaptive: incremental adjustments; Transformative: make fundamental changes to the system. The five capacity areas are in most cases overlapping during specific project implementation, with the classification based on the overarching resilience capacity area.
