Liberia Community Infrastructure Program (LCIP)

The Liberian Community Infrastructure Program (LCIP) began operations in March 2004.  This two-year program funded by the United States Agency for International Development focuses on reintegrating ex-combatants and other war-affected persons into the productive work place. LCIP emphasizes the reconstruction of community infrastructure—schools, clinics, administrative buildings, water services, markets, and roads—as a means for joining employment and skills training objectives with Liberia’s reconstruction.  It incorporates the two key elements: social and economic reintegration.  LCIP's approach seeks to balance the needs of former combatants with war-affected civilians, and proposes to address each constituency equally for a total of 25,000 direct participants.  

The accompanying PowerPoint presentation was made to the standing OCHA general meeting in Monrovia on October 7, 2004.  Further enquiries can be addressed to the Chief of Party, LCIP, Randall St and UN Drive, Monrovia [+231] (06) 563 151.

Liberia Reconstruction Conference Working Papers

Note: These Working Papers were prepared for the February 2004 Liberia Reconstruction Conference Needs Assessment.  They are unedited, unofficial documents.  There may be inconsistencies between the contents of these Working Paper and, the Needs Assessment Synthesis Report and the Results Focused Transition Framework (RFTF). The Needs Assessment Synthesis Report and the RFTF are the final texts endorsed by the National Transitional Government of Liberia, the United Nations and the World Bank for the Reconstruction Conference. As Liberia becomes more accessible new information will become available on people’s situation and needs. The needs assessments will be developed to take account of this information - in ways that ensure consistency between Working Papers, the Synthesis Report and the RFTF.
