Liberia Youth Opportunities Project

The objectives of the Youth Opportunities Project for Liberia are to improve access to income generation opportunities for targeted youth and strengthen the government's capacity to implement its cash transfer program. There are four components to the project, the first component being pre-employment social support and household enterprises for urban youth. This component will contribute to addressing youth labor market participation and behavioral constraints through the following three subcomponents: pre-employment social support, household enterprises, and capacity and systems building. The second component is the productive public works and life skills support. This component will consist of two subcomponents: productive public works and life skills support and capacity and systems building. The third component is the capacity building for cash transfer program. This component aims to improve efficiency in the delivery of cash transfers to targeted households in Liberia. This component will specifically support capacity building within the MGCSP to: (a) set minimum standards of operations in the modalities of targeting, identifying, and delivering cash transfers; (b) update project operational procedures and guidelines; (c) develop coordination mechanisms and ensure synergies in the implementation of this subcomponent; and (d) provide knowledge exchange events, including seminars at the county, district, and central government levels and local and international study tours. Finally, the fourth component is the project implementation and coordination.
