    Liberia

    To implement the vision of fostering
    economic development, social equity, and a transparent and
    effective government, the Government of Liberia has outlined
    key transitions that need to be accomplished. These include
    the development of infrastructure (roads, electricity),
    schools, job creation and transition from war, civil
    conflict and social polarization to a well functioning
    society in which economic opportunities are fostered and

    In much of the developing world, the
    demand for high frequency quality household data for poverty
    monitoring and program design far outstrips the capacity of
    the statistics bureau to provide such data. In these
    environments, all available data sources must be leveraged.
    Most surveys, however, do not collect the detailed
    consumption data necessary to construct aggregates and
    poverty lines to measure poverty directly. This paper

    This basic Agriculture Public
    Expenditure Review (AgPER) documents and analyzes
    information on the volume and structure of Liberia's
    past public expenditure on the agriculture sector and draws
    conclusions that can provide an orientation for future
    policies in view of the effectiveness of spending. The
    AgPER's focus is on the sectors of agriculture,
    including crops, fisheries, and forestry, in line with the

    This paper presents simulations for the
    period 2013-2030 of measures that permit increased spending
    on infrastructure and human development, the priority areas
    in Liberia's 2013-2017 "Agenda for
    Transformation" and for its national vision, Liberia
    Rising 2030. The simulations are carried out with a Liberian
    version of MAMS (Maquette for Millennium Development Goals
    Simulations), a Computable General Equilibrium model.

    This report evaluates the outcomes of
    World Bank Group support to Liberia from its post-war
    reengagement in 2003 through 2011. The country has moved
    from total disarray to a solid foundation for inclusive
    development. Although development has not moved forward as
    quickly as hoped, substantial progress has been made. Public
    finance and key institutions have been rebuilt; crucial
    transport facilities have been restored; and hospitals,

    Liberia

    Poor governance and nearly fifteen years
    of brutal conflict have made Liberia one of the poorest
    countries in the world. An important objective for the
    democratically elected government of post-conflict Liberia
    is to reduce poverty. As part of its long-term vision plan,
    the Government is preparing a second Poverty Reduction
    Strategy (PRS) to set out its medium-term approach to
    poverty reduction. The current climate of peace and

    The purpose of this study is to provide in one place a set of papers that were written at various points in time over the last four years on poverty and the response to the recent economic crisis in Liberia. More precisely, the objective of the study is twofold. First it is to provide a basic diagnostic of both consumption-based poverty and human development (especially education and health) in the country using the 2007 CWIQ (Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire) survey.

    Liberia

    Liberia aims to achieve middle-income
    status by 2030 through broad participation and inclusive
    growth. The Government's growth strategy aims to
    accelerate growth through the exploitation of natural
    resources, while maintaining sound macroeconomic policies,
    improving the business environment, and prudently allocating
    aid and commodity-based financing resources to expand
    infrastructure and formal sector employment. However,

    Fourteen years of civil conflict
    (1989-2003) have destroyed Liberia's social and
    economic infrastructure and brought the economy nearly to a
    halt. Workers who came of age during the conflict are
    largely unskilled, and the supply of workers exceeds demand
    by a substantial margin. The negative effects of
    unemployment, underemployment, and low productivity on
    economic growth have made employment the most urgent demand

    This report provides an assessment of
    the corporate sector accounting, financial reporting, and

    institutional framework and capacity needed to enhance the
    quality of corporate financial reporting that is a key
    contributor to improving investor confidence and ultimately
    economic growth. Efforts are necessary for strengthening the
