Liberia: Liberia Binds New Women, Peace Plan to Targets, Budgets As Boakai Launches It At UN

United Nations — Liberia's third national plan on women, peace and security ties every commitment to a responsible government agency, an indicator, a baseline and a target, and places a gender ministry-chaired steering committee that includes the justice, defense and finance ministries in charge of delivering it, Gender Minister Gbeme Horace-Kollie said Sept.

At the national validation workshop for NAP III in Monrovia in July, the government's lead consultant on the drafting said the new plan's smaller budget reflects a push for a more realistic and achievable plan after large portions of the second plan's activities went unfunded." The plan is built around five areas of action, which President Boakai listed in his launch address: prevention; protection and access to justice; participation; relief, recovery and resilience; and coordination, accountability and financing.
