Background: The Government of Liberia unveiled a new development strategy in 2018, the Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) which has been elaborated in the second generation of the Liberian Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (LASIP II) and the 2015 National Food Security and Nutrition Strategy (FSNS). The PAPD strongly emphasizes the role of a diversified and competitive agricultural sector for the economy and for reducing food insecurity. Its stated main goals are for Liberia to achieve “a more competitive and diversified agricultural sector that promotes value chains for food self-sufficiency, increased exports, job creation, and livelihood opportunities” by 2023. The PAPD emphasise the importance of the successful implementation of LASIP II and prioritizes the strengthening of production and processing of locally consumed food products (rice, cassava, vegetables) as well of main export agricultural products (oil palm, cocoa, rubber).
