Liberia: Private Sector Donations Portal (LIPSEC) Launched to Support Government of Liberia COVID-19 Response

press release

Monrovia —  A consortium of the Liberia private sector, the Liberia Private Sector Executive Committee (LIPSEC), launched a virtual web portal that will help the Government of Liberia account for private sector donations in support of the country's COVID-19 response. The portal collects information about private sector contributions no matter the size or the source of the donations, or whether they are in-cash, in-kind or in-hours. This effort will allow these donations to be potentially available for international donor matching funds to support the most vulnerable in Liberian society.

LIPSEC brings together the work of the Private Sector Executive Committee (PSEC), under the direction of Incident Management System (IMS), along with the efforts of the West Africa Coronavirus Platform Liberia (WAPSCON19), directed by Scott Lowe, the CEO of ArcelorMittal Liberia. WAPSCON19 builds upon the private sector efforts that supported the Ebola outbreak of 2014-16 through the Ebola Private Sector Mobilization Group.
