Labor-Based Public Works Project

The Labor-Based Public Works project was initiated by the Government of Liberia after fourteen years of civil war in the country as part of the reconstruction of basic infrastructure, human, institutional and social capacities. The total cost of the project, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA16.04 million, of which UA5.57 million in foreign exchange and UA10.47 million in local currency. The project comprises three components, namely: (i) rehabilitation of socio-economic Infrastructure; capacity development for infrastructure maintenance; and project management.

The sector goal is to contribute to the improvement of productive livelihoods and service delivery. The specific project objective is to improve capacities for infrastructure maintenance and local development.

The beneficiaries of the project will include: (i) local population living along the Fishtown – Harper Road; (ii) transport owners; (iii) MPW staff, which will be trained to use laborbased methods in the construction and maintenance of roads, (iii) staff of existing small scale local construction enterprises that will receive (a) training in technical, managerial and business issues relative to infrastructure construction and maintenance using labor-based methods and (b) basic labor-based equipment; and (iv) the 60 community maintenance groups (including a significant number of women) to be formed, trained and engaged by the project for demonstration of the labor-based approach, and earn an income in the process.
