General

This project (LFSP) consists of three strategic pilars for cooperation on forest with Liberia. LFSP is developed by the World Bank in close collaboration with the authorities in Liberia. The project will strengthen institutional capacity to manage woodlands and support activities contributing to sustainable economic activity and management of protected areas. The project will also support the development of a system for measuring and reporting emissions. The program funds training of local small-scale farmers in climate resilient agriculture, including modern plant materials, tools and technology. The program also supports local land-use planning and mapping of natural resources (including soil quality), a prerequisite for strengthening local resilience.

The project organizes community members who have land issues, land conflicts and human rights issues, and through local committees empowers them to address their issues to relevant actors. Various trainings on basic human rights and relevant laws are provided, along with linking farmers together through networks and NGOs, for them to push government to be accountable and respond to the farmers’ needs.
