Liberia Grants Solicitation and Management Program (LGSM)

Liberia Grants Solicitation and Management Program (LGSM) supports service delivery, training, and related activities aimed filling the gaps in Liberias health system, and assisting vulnerable populations in four areas: Orphans and Vulnerable Children (HIV/AIDS), Youth (Reproductive Health), Maternal and Child Health (Family Planning), and Nongovernmental Organization Capacity Building in Health and Social Welfare (Social Services). Managed by World Learning, the Liberia Grants Solicitation and Management (LGSM) program is a $13.2 million USAID Cooperative Agreement that contributes to the joint objective of the Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and USAID: to improve the health status of the population of Liberia.

Assist special populations which may be vulnerable or at-risk on a temporary or chronic basis whose needs are not addressed under emergency humanitarian assistance or other programs. These include groups such as the disabled; orphans, children and at-risk youth; victims of trafficking; victims of gender-based violence; refugees, returnees, ethnic minorities, internally displaced or other socially excluded groups; the elderly; and female heads of household. Depending on circumstances, services may intend to protect groups; mitigate adverse conditions they face, or to remove barriers to help integrate them into society. Components may include measures to increase the capacity of local service and advocacy NGOs and/or professional social workers; to establish public/private service delivery partnerships as well as family and community focused service models; to establish effective referral networks; to develop appropriate service protocols and methods for screening prospective recipients; or to improve public understanding and sensitivity to the needs of the vulnerable. While servicesprovided should not exclude victims of trafficking in persons, programs designed specifically forthis group fall under the Peace and Security Objective under Program Area PS.5 Trafficking inPersons. Increase the availability and use of proven life-saving interventions that address the major killers of mothers and children and improve their health status, including effective maternity care and management of obstetric complications; prevention services including newborn care, routine immunization, polio eradication, safe water and hygiene; and treatment of life-threatening childhood illnesses.
