Liberia: Final Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) Available Online Now

press release

Liberia's final Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) is now available on the Executive Mansion site (www.emansion.gov.lr). The PRS is a medium term national development plan that lays out policies and programs Liberia aims to implement in order to enhance national security, increase economic growth, strengthen governance and the rule of law, and develop infrastructure while providing basic services. Liberia's PRS will span the next three years (from April 2008 through June 2011).

Commenting on the participatory nature of the PRS consultative process, PRS Core Team Chairperson, Minister of Finance Dr. Antoinette Sayeh, said: "Over the seven month period, we have held consultations on the district and county level throughout Liberia, as well as three regional consultations in order to receive tangible input into the content of the Poverty Reduction Strategy. We have consulted the private sector, civil society, and the Legislature in separate outreach sessions in order to receive additional concrete feedback on the Strategy's initial draft. We received comments and inputs from international partners, Liberians in the Diaspora, and myriad other stakeholders."
