Conservation of the Gola Forest Landscape Overall, the desired long-term impact is that the forest ecosystems of the Gola Forest Landscape are conserved. It is assumed that, for this to happen, the landscape must be effectively managed. Furthermore, the best chance for effective management is by a cross-border partnership of government, civil society and forest/forest edge communities  if any one of these partners is not present, an important component of effective management will be missed. To effectively manage the landscape, we assume that both the protected areas (Outcome 2) and the community forests outside the protected areas (Outcome 3) must be well managed and that this must all be tied together through an integrated set of land use plans that collectively cover the landscape (Outcome 1) and effective transboundary governance structures (incorporated in Outcome 2). All of this is underpinned and made more effective by sharing lessons learned with stakeholders in other forest and transboundary landscapes in West Africa and beyond (Outcome 4).

Youth Rising - EU Support to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for Young People in Liberia(Supplementary to CTR 399430) Liberias youth constitutes nearly half of the Liberian labour force but is exposed to high unemployment, underemployment and vulnerable employment rates. The global commodity prices crisis, combined with the effects of the Ebola crisis, have devastated the Liberian economy and worsened youths fragility problems. A socially and economically marginalised young population  can pose serious risks to national security, social cohesion and stability. Liberian youth generally lack employable skills and are ill-equipped to access new economic opportunities. Efforts to improve their employability are constrained by a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) TVET sector characterised by serious shortcomings in terms of quality and relevance, access and equity, funding, and governance. The Government of Liberia (GoL) recognises that the transition towards inclusive growth will not happen unless human capabilities are enhanced and the quality of education and vocational training are improved to match the demands of the labour market. The present intervention will seek to strengthen the Liberian TVET sector in its capacity to deliver equitable and gender-balanced access to high-quality and demand-driven TVET. This will be done by supporting capacity development at central and TVET provider level, and by strengthening links with the private sector.  The intervention will address equity issues with emphasis on remote South East rural areas and vulnerable youth, including people with disabilities.

EU Liberia Agriculture Programme - Component 2 - Rural development through diversification and sustainable agriculture Contract related to: EU Liberia Agriculture Programme - Component 2 - Rural development through diversification and sustainable agriculture - The objective of the programme is to reduce poverty in the rural areas and to improve food and nutrition security in Liberia
From productivity to product, linking peers to peers (P2P) This Action is the first in a series contributing to transformative impact targeted under the Team Europe initiative ¿Safe and sustainable food systems¿ (TEI SSFSs). It ties in with all priority areas of the MIP for Liberia, fully aligns with SDG 2, End hunger, and will contribute to SDGs 17, 8, 13, 14, 15, 5, 10 and 16.Its overall objective (impact) is to boost safe and sustainable food systems growth for enhanced food and nutrition security. To achieve this objective, the Action will build on the EU¿s ongoing investments in Liberia¿s food systems while emphasising a clear paradigm shift from a one-size-fits-all to a needs-based value chain approach. The Action projects that, if improving governance is prioritised with a knowledge-based approach, if the linkages in the food systems value chains are activated with a strong focus on healthy, nutritious and affordable diets as well as service development and business attitude, and if innovation is supported through ecosystem- and climate-smart activities inclusive of women and youth, then food systems in Liberia will grow in a safe and sustainable manner. Thus the food and nutrition security in Liberia will be improved.The Action will seek to support public entities (duty-bearers) with key mandates in food systems development, notably the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the Liberia Agriculture Commodity Regulatory Authority (LACRA) and the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA), along with private sector partners, notably (M)SMEs, to improve their service delivery on a sustainable basis, and interact with organisations representing the diverse right-holders¿ voices in all 15 counties of Liberia. The Action will contain interventions focusing on soil and water resources suitability mapping, seed production and certification, as well as food safety (serving domestic and export markets). Natural resources (incl. climate) concerns are thus directly addressed, while gender &amp; youth as well as tertiary education considerations will be integrated in thematic and technical assistance programmes implemented through service procurement (technical assistance) and grants (under direct and indirect management). The Action will also contribute to the realisation of the EU Gender Action Plan 2021-2025 (GAP&nbsp;III), notably to its thematic areas of engagement ¿Strengthening economic social rights and empowering girls and women¿ and ¿Addressing the challenges and harnessing the opportunities offered by the green transition¿.
