People, Rules and Organizations Supported for Protection of Ecosystem Resources (PROSPER)

PROSPER (Economic Growth): A 5 Year, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Contract to introduce, operationalize, and refine appropriate models for community management of forest resources for local self-governance and enterprise development in targeted areas in Liberia.

Conserve biodiversity and manage natural resources in ways that maintain their long-term viability and preserve their potential to meet the needs of present and future generations. Activities include combating illegal and corrupt exploitation of natural resources and the control of invasive species. Programs in this element should be integrated with the Agriculture Area under Economic Growth and Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation Area under the Peace and Security Category, when applicable and appropriate. Ensure that natural resources are managed in ways that sustain productivity, economic growth and healthy people and ecosystems. Activities include natural resource governance, resource based enterprises, and integrated water resource management. Program in this element should be integrated with the Climate Change, Biodiversity and Agriculture Areas and Elements under the Economic Growth Category. Ensure that land resources are managed in ways that promote economic growth, sustain ecological function, and reduce conflict over land resources. Activities include land policy, formalization of land tenure, improved governance of land resources, and land use planning. Programs should be integrated with Agriculture, Climate Change and Biodiversity Areas and Elements. Sustain the productivity of the agricultural sector through investments that foster increasing returns to land, labor, and capital. Targeted interventions to male and female producers provide improvements in technology and management practices, expanded access to markets and credit, increased organizational and market efficiency, and restoration and protection of resiliency in production and livelihood systems. Improve nutrient quality, dietary diversity, and safety of food supply across agriculture value chains during production, post-harvest processing and storage; build awareness of agriculture sector actors at national and local levels on nutrition; promote the production and utilization of nutritious biofortified crops at the household farm level; and promote markets for foods that are particularly important for nutrition and that smallholder farmers produce.
