Liberia Government (Monrovia)
6 March 2008
Monrovia, Liberia - On Monday, March 10, 2008, at Monrovia City Hall, the Stakeholders' Consultative Committee (SCC), which launched the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) process in August 2007, will reconvene to vet the 2nd and most recent draft of Liberia's Poverty Reduction Strategy before finalization.
It is expected that a cross-section of stakeholders will converge on City Hall next Monday, including members of civil society, members of the Legislature, Cabinet officials, donors, and private sector representatives. Liberia's PRS is a reflection of district, county-wide, and regional consultations throughout the country; public outreach consultations in Monrovia; as well as discussions taking place in board rooms, palava huts, hatai shops, on university campuses, and in private residences about moving the nation from post-conflict recovery to post-conflict development. During the SCC on Monday, specific focus will be placed on strategies for implementation during the three-year national development agenda.
The Second Draft of Liberia's Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) is now available for review on the Executive Mansion site (www.emansion.gov.lr) as well as the Ministry of Finance website (http://www.mofliberia.org/). The PRS will be completed by the end of March 2008 after going to the Liberian Cabinet for final review.
Members of the press are encouraged to attend the SCC meeting to cover the event, as well as provide input about media development issues infused in the Governance and Rule of Law Pillar.
