Promoting youth employment in the mining, construction and agriculture sector Liberia has made significant progress in its efforts to secure and sustain long-lasting peace.  As a result of the devastating civil wars, vocational infrastructure critical to rebuilding the country has been left severely damaged.  The country faces significant threats from increasing youth unemployment and a growing influx of returnees to the country.  Simultaneously, Liberia is attracting significant foreign investment in key industrial sectors, which include mining, energy, road construction, agriculture and forestry.  The lack of quality vocational education and well-trained technical personnel present a significant barrier for Liberians to take advantage of the employment opportunities created.  This creates a risk that threatens the long-term stability of the country.  This project aims to address the above constraints by upgrading Liberia#s training infrastructure to modern industry needs that will enable vulnerable groups, particularly youth and returnees, to benefit from the employment opportunities generated.  In cooperation with Komatsu, heavy equipment and machinery is at the core of the current industrial development in the country.  A modern facility will be established to provide hands-on and classroom based learning using modern systems developed by Komatsu.  This training center will prepare s
Promoting youth employment by supporting technical and vocational education in Liberia The proposed project seeks to contribute to a robust and inclusive TVET system that responds to economic needs and which increases the employability of Liberia#s youth. The project supports the Government of Liberia#s goal of extending TVET access to remote areas and will build on, and strengthen, Liberia#s existing vocational training system.  To contribute to the overall objective and achieve its outcome, the intervention will upgrade and improve the learning environment and the teaching quality at the VMHS located in Lofa County, Liberia. More specifically, the project will work on (1) improving capacity of teachers through participation in formal teacher training for vocational education, (2) strengthening Human capital to correspond to economic needs and (3) increasing participation of the private sector in stewardship and engagement with TVET sector at school level.  Delivering quality teacher training and retaining qualified teachers is key to sustaining the gains in the TVET sector on a national scale. The project will contribute to the establishment of a national TVET Centre for Professional Training, Development, Research and Innovation (TCPTRI) at the Booker Washington Institute (BWI). TCPTRI will contribute to improving teachers# capacity through their participation in formal teacher training for vo
INSTALLATION OF MULTI PURPOSE MINI-HYDRO INFRASTRUCTURE (FOR ENERGY & IRRIGATION) - PREPARATORY ASSISTANCE
Installation of Multi-Purpose Mini-Hydro Infrastructure (for Energy and Irrigation) The overall goal of the project is to remove the institutional, technical, policy and economic barriers to the promotion of micro and small hydro power for productive applications in Liberia and reduce GHG emissions from fossil based power by accelerating the development of micro and small hydro resources. The project aim to develop the market environment for improving the access to micro and small hydro-based modern energy services along with irrigation facilities and productive uses in rural areas of the country. To achieve the objective, a 10 MW pilot scale micro and small hydro power based mini grid project is proposed to be set up in the country. In addition, the institutional capacity of stakeholders to for project planning and implementation is also being built. The project also aims to develop the local capacity in terms of operation and maintenance of the micro and small hydro plants, promoting local manufacturing capacity for small hydro components and other productive applications of electricity from the micro and small hydro power plant. The project is expected to bring about a reduction of about 582.49 kilotons of CO2 during its useful life time of 15 years. The project is expected to bring about the target GHG reductions directly (through demonstration of MHP project) and additional GHG reductions
European Union support to technical and vocational education and training for young people in Liberia, "Youth rising project", phase II The proposed project # a second phase of the ongoing #Youth Rising# project # will firstly expand the support provided under the first phase to cover all 15 counties of Liberia, adding 10 schools in 8 counties to the 10 schools in 7 counties already covered.

And thirdly, phase II will also continue support to the TVET providers supported under phase I, to help them manage their new and/or renovated infrastructure, new trades and employ newly trained teachers in a professional and sustainable manner.
Promoting social stability by providing technical and vocational training for vulnerable people in communities affected by concession projects in Grand Bassa County, Liberia The project aims to promote social stabilisation by improving human security of vulnerable people and communities affected by concession projects (PACs) in Grand Bassa County. With particular focus on unemployed youth, the project provides technical and vocational training by utilising existing vocational institutions in coordination with transnational corporations (TNCs).  This comprehensive approach of human capacity-building combining youth development, business partnerships and environmentally sustainable production, helps create a robust local economy. By promoting skills training and forging enduring partnerships with the business sector, the project aims to offer a viable future for youth and in turn ease tensions between TNCs and PACs.  The project is interlinked with the programme #Promotion of the Human Security Business Partnership Framework towards the achievement of the SDGs# to be jointly implemented by UNIDO, FAO and UNDP. This will strengthen the integrated responses to multi-sectoral challenges faced by vulnerable people and communities.

Promoting MSME development and employment opportunities in Liberia through a market system and cluster development approach in agro-industry value chains (GROW 2) The programme constitutes the successor phase of the Sida-funded #Markets and value chains in agriculture# (GROW Liberia, 2013-2022 # hereafter called GROW-1) and is named GROW-2. It aims at contributing to the increase in income and employment opportunities through MSME development in priority agro-based value chains in Liberia. More precisely, capitalizing on the results and lessons of GROW-1, the programme will focus on upscaling prior efforts and expanding sectoral and thematic outreach. The programme is aligned to Liberia#s strategic development priorities as well as to Sweden#s cooperation strategy with Liberia.  GROW-2 programme focuses on three value chains and while support to addressing opportunities and challenges to seize international market opportunities concerns the cocoa value chain, support to enhancing the cassava and horticulture value chains aims at enhancing food security and increasing income of, in particular, rural farmers (men, women and youth).  Core principles include the search for country ownership, effective synergies with related programmes, projects and initiatives, the pursuit of a Market System Development (MSD) approach adapted to the local context, emphasis on national capacity building and results orientation as well as facilitation of regional linkages.

Support to technical and vocational training for Liberia#s youth Liberia#s 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 youth#s 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 stren
Human Security # Public Private Partnership Initiative: Promoting Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development in Post-Crisis Liberia As a follow-up of the conference #Applying the human security approach and its contribution to priority areas of the international community and the United Nations system# organized in Vienna by Human Security Unit (HSU) of the United Nations, on 11 May 2015, HSU, London School of Economics and UNIDO have agreed to develop a project that aims to develop and test innovative models of multi-stakeholder partnerships based on human security, through involving corporates in a structured programming of learning and discussion to examine how the global private sector can address the issue of individual vulnerability in conjunction with mitigating and minimizing business risk in Liberia in the framework of UNIDO#s inclusive and sustainable industrial development.
Promotion of social stabilization through the creation of jobs and livelihoods for vulnerable people and communities in Nimba County The proposed project aims to promote social stability by improving human security of the vulnerable people and PACs through providing technical and vocational training in close coordination with TNCs. The proposed project targets mainly Nimba County, in addition to Monrovia, Margibi, and Grand Bassa Counties, where the previous and on-going projects funded by the Government of Japan have been implemented. The proposed project will work with the relevant national and local government institutions, existing training institutions (i.e. Brooker Washington Institute (BWI), Grand Bassa Community College (GBCC), and Nimba County Community College (NCCC)), civil society and CBOs, community leaders, the carpenter unions and associations, and the private sector to improve the value chain in the rubber wood processing and furniture production sector of Nimba County, giving that Nimba is also one of the counties considered as part of Liberia#s rubber belt. In addition, the proposed project will explore possible synergy effects with the previous and on -going projects funded by the Government of Japan in Liberia.
Promoting social stabilization through vocational training and job creation for vulnerable people and communities in post-Ebola Liberia While Liberia is still on the way to recovery from the civil wars between 1989 and 2003, the recent outbreak of Ebola has seriously affected their path for recovery in an already fragile post-conflict setting putting a tremendous burden on the Government of Liberia.  Liberia heavily depends on the transnational corporations (TNCs) and their exports of rubber, iron ore and oil palm for growth, employment and fiscal revenues. Due to the plunge in the prices of these export commodities since 2014 and also unhealthy global economic environment, ArcelorMittal has laid off over 450 employees since January 2016, while the Putu Iron Ore Mining Company has reportedly shutdown and left. The rubber plantations put thousands of Liberians out of jobs and closed schools and hospitals run by them. However; Liberia does not have any other productive sector that can cushion these negative socio-economic impacts.  The proposed project aims to promote social stabilization by improving human security of the vulnerable people and communities affected by crises through promoting wood furniture industry and providing vocational skills to unemployed youth in close coordination with transnational corporations (TNCs).
