The Overall Objective is to contribute to increase the competitiveness, inclusivity and environmental sustainability of Cassava, Fisheries and aquaculture and wood processing value chains for enhanced decent job creation, economic growth, and competitiveness of Liberian MSMEs. The Action is aimed at addressing structural barriers to decent work opportunities for all Liberians, including Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), thereby facilitating their active involvement and contribution to Liberia’s Labour market. The Specific Objective (outcome) aims to ensure that MSMEs, with a focus on enterprises owned by women, youth and persons with disabilities, within the three targeted value chains increase their productivity and production quality so they can offer decent and inclusive job conditions while committing to environmental sustainability standards.
Intervention’s strategies:
The Action will focus on the two main areas of intervention and the related challenges: private sector development and value chain development (Cassava, Aquaculture and Wood processing).
The Action is financed by the European Union and will be co-implemented by Expertise France and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Purpose of the Role
Under the overall supervision of the GSLM, the driver ensures safe, efficient, and timely transportation of staff, visitors, and goods, while also supporting broader logistical and operational needs of the mutualized office. The role contributes to smooth program implementation, effective coordination of transport and logistics, and compliance with organizational, donor, and security standards.
Key Responsibilities
Liberia’s private sector holds significant potential for driving economic growth, decent job creation, and poverty reduction. However, this potential remains untapped due to structural weaknesses in economic governance, a challenging business environment, and an unfavorable investment climate. These systemic constraints, combined with underdeveloped value chains in the cassava, fisheries, and wood sector, limit opportunities for inclusive and sustainable economic transformation. At the same time, these issues present clear entry points for targeted interventions under this Action, aiming to improve economic conditions, strengthen key value chains, and support private sector growth and create the business environment and investment climate in which they can flourish.
