Monrovia – The U.S. Government hosted the 2021 Government of Liberia-United States Agency for International Development (USAID) portfolio review, which brought together representatives from 12 Liberian ministries and 12 associated Liberian organizations to discuss current and future foreign assistance programming for Liberia. USAID and Government of Liberia staff provided updates about key program milestones, challenges to implementation, and plans for future activities. In Liberia, USAID programming is focused on four technical areas: 1) Democracy, Rights and Governance, 2) Economic Growth, 3) Education, and 4) Health. The USAID portfolio currently includes active projects valued at more than $500 million in total. The annual Government of Liberia-USAID Portfolio Review provided an opportunity for both governments to discuss the assistance programs funded by USAID, identify mutual goals in each sector, and decide upon action items needed in the coming months.
