Description du projet ou contexte
PSD Liberia context
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 unfavourable 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.
The Overall Objective of the Action is to contribute to increase the competitiveness, inclusivity and environmental sustainability of cassava, fisheries and wood processing value chains for enhanced decent job creation, economic growth, and competitiveness of Liberian MSMEs. The Action also takes into consideration strategic approaches 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) of the Action 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. However, this may occur only if the general ecosystem, including access to skills and business development services, is improved, therefore requiring policy dialogue at all stages of project implementation, involving the public and private sector, and EU and Liberian MSMEs.
PSD Liberia objectives
The project will focus on the two main areas of intervention and the related challenges: private sector development and value chain development (cassava, fisheries and wood).
Three components for the implementation of the Action have been defined as follows:
· Component 1: Improved regulatory frameworks through PPD, including a high level policy dialogue platform, and Institutional Capacity Development for a more conducive business and investment climate in line with sustainable and inclusive international standards.
· Component 2: Improved skills of MSMEs within the three target value chains, with particular emphasis on enterprises owned by women, youth and persons with disabilities.
· Component 3: Enhanced capacity of national stakeholders for creating employment and improved access to decent work opportunities for all, including marginalised groups (youth, women and persons with disabilities) for better skills, livelihoods and workplace accountability in line with International Labour Standards.
The Action is financed by the European Union and will be co-implemented by Expertise France and the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
