Synopsis (short abstract) The eradication of hunger and poverty is one of the most pressing challenges of our times, as recognized by the first two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Liberia, food insecurity affects 80 percent of the population, and most of the poor live in rural areas. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures are exacerbating the challenges to end hunger and poverty in the country. This flier highlights the pressing need for increased responsible agricultural investments in the country, the importance of abiding by the CFS Principles for Responsible Investments in Agriculture and Food Systems, and FAO's activities in the country. This work is supported by Germany and the Flexible Funding Mechanism resource partners.

    Under its CFS RAI Umbrella Programme, FAO is strengthening the capacities of Liberian state and non-state actors to enhance the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems. This includes the present baseline study, drafted by ZOA with support from FAO; the delivery of blended learning programmes for policymakers; capacity development activities for civil society; and multi-stakeholder policy dialogue which is expected to result in concrete policy recommendations. These activities are carried out under the inter-regional project “Enhancing the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems” (GCP/INT/920/GER), which is funded by Germany. The project operates at global, regional, and country levels (Lao PDR, Liberia, and Sierra Leone).

    Food insecurity and poverty affects more than half of the Liberian population. Many Liberians are farmers and small-scale producers, but this activity does not allow them to have a decent standard of living that guarantees their basic well-being. Increasing investment in agriculture and rural development is essential to make agriculture a viable source of livelihoods and eliminate poverty and hunger in the country. This work is supported by Germany and the Flexible Funding Mechanism resource partners.
