No results found.The second quarter of 2025 saw the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Liberia intensify its efforts toward sustainable agriculture, fisheries safety, forest governance, and responsible investment. Highlights include a landmark sea safety and outboard engine maintenance training for 20 artisanal fishers from Liberia’s nine coastal counties, backed by the Government of Japan, to improve livelihoods and reduce maritime risks. FAO also donated 12 refrigerators to the Ministry of Agriculture to strengthen veterinary public health and animal disease surveillance. In Bong County, FAO and partners launched Integrated Village Food System training to enhance food security for vulnerable communities, while in Rome, Liberia and FAO inaugurated the Liberia Situation Room—providing real-time agri-food system monitoring. Other key milestones included the launch of the Sustainable Rice Value Chain Enhancement Project to boost national production, refresher training for 19 extensionists under the SADFONS project, and a high-level advocacy mission promoting a national Food Security and Nutrition System. The Community-Based Forestry and Protected Area Management (CBFM) project recorded progress with approval of its Year 4 work plan and the handover of a long-awaited Community Forest Management Plan to three authorized forest communities in River Gee County. FAO also joined Liberia in celebrating women’s leadership in diplomacy and convened a multi-stakeholder dialogue to advance the country’s Responsible Agricultural Investment framework. Together, these initiatives underscore FAO’s commitment to the “Four Betters”—better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life—for all Liberians.
