No results found.Agricultural land in Liberia (around 5.4 percent of the area) is divided into swamps and forests, and a third of it is under permanent crops plantation. Even though it was assumed that swamps were better suited for rice crops, there was very little knowledge about the soils properties and potential to improve the number of crops or the yields quality and quantity. The country was also lacking some appropriate technologies and capacities to support sustainable land-use programmes. Although some work on data collection had been done in the past, after a long civil crisis and several development challenges, Liberia still counted on limited available data to implement an efficient agricultural plan. By increasing national capacities in soil analysis and implementing better practices for the sustainable use of the land, the project was aligned with the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) policies. Furthermore, by addressing key technical concerns about climate change and the agricultural sector, the project provided strong support to the government programmes and initiatives, which entailed two relevant changes of context: (i) incorporating sustainable land management techniques for sustainable farming, and (ii) new institutional and agricultural frameworks to draw attention from multiple stakeholders, thus promoting the allocation of further financial resources to develop all environmental areas. -

No results found.In Liberia, access to accurate and reliable data for planning and programming processes remains a challenge The key focal institution for statistics and geo information services is the Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo Information Services ( This works closely with the Statistics Unit of MoA in the conduct of surveys and assessments, with the latter also providing reliable and timely statistics for evidence based planning, policy formulation and decision making However, despite being functional, both LISGIS and the Statistics Unit are constrained by limited technical and logistic capacity, especially in terms of resources They also lack the institutional framework and support needed for effective agricultural statistics and other related information management systems The aim of the project was to support statistics and information management systems by strengthening the institutional capacity of MoA to provide, manage and sustain a reliable database on agricultural performance The strengthening of the Statistics Unit in the Department of Planning and Development of MoA would ensure reliable and timely statistics for evidence based planning, policy formulation and decision making, as well as allowing timely access and availability of reliable data, baselines and statistics to guide and support the planning and programming processes of partners, including the Government.
