was validated in July 2010 during a meeting attended by all the stakeholders in the value chain.\r\n\r\nIn Liberia, Cassava is the second most important food crop. It is grown throughout the country, although the area covered may vary considerably for different counties. A survey conducted by the Liberian Ministry of Agriculture in 1978 indicated that the total area covered by the crop in 1977 was only 86 000 ha with an average yield of 1800 kg/ha, and that 39 400 or 26 percent of all agricultural households in the country were involved in the production of cassava.','Liberia National Cassava Sector Strategy','','inherit','closed','closed','','1766-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:35:25','2022-12-06 10:35:25','',1766,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5183',0,'revision','',0),(5184,42,'2022-12-06 10:39:59','2022-12-06 10:39:59','This zip file consist of various FDA regulations in Liberia including Wildlife export, Charcoal, Power saw ban, etc.','FDA Regulations','','inherit','closed','closed','','1713-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:39:59','2022-12-06 10:39:59','',1713,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5184',0,'revision','',0),(5185,42,'2022-12-06 10:40:30','2022-12-06 10:40:30','Liberia is endowed with abundant rainfall and easily accessible groundwater in most areas. Its fresh water, like everywhere else globally, is a natural resource vital for human survival, socio-economic development and maintenance of the environment. The resource is finite and vulnerable and there are already worrying cases of pollution and degradation of national water resources afflicted by both natural and human factors.\r\n\r\nThe water resource potential of the country is enormous but lacks adequate and proper management. This situation has been exacerbated by the effects of the civil war just ended.\r\nThere is, therefore, a compelling need for a well coordinated and integrated approach for the development and management of the nation’s water resources (Integrated Water Resources Management). Moreover, a framework is required through which priorities can be established and the protection and optimal use of the water resources planned and implemented.\r\n\r\nAlong with the poor access to adequate sanitation and the contamination of water bodies by domestic waste, the Government is concerned that most of its population does not have access to clean and safe drinking water. The major challenge is to ensure that this social service is delivered to everyone.\r\n\r\nThe country’s reconstruction program and the need for environmental management demand that attention be paid to the problems of water resources management. These resources can be harnessed to make a significant contribution to the national economy thereby making the benefits accessible to the citizenry of Liberia.\r\n\r\nThe urgency for an integrated approach to water resources management with full coordination between the water related sectors cannot be over-stated. Unlike in the past, Liberia now has its first comprehensive National Integrated Water Resources Management Policy.\r\n\r\nThis policy will guide development efforts aimed at achieving the maximum net benefit from these resources in a sustainable manner for the livelihood of present and future generations. It also addresses current water management issues and adopts the objectives and strategies envisaged in the Millennium Development Goals. In addition, the policy and strategies have been set against the Government\'s overall goals for social and economic development, as well as the democratic, decentralization approach to development.\r\n\r\nThe sustainable development and national utilization of the water resources are our collective responsibility; it requires commitment, political will and shared vision.','National Integrated Water Resources Management Policy','','inherit','closed','closed','','1711-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:40:30','2022-12-06 10:40:30','',1711,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5185',0,'revision','',0),(5186,42,'2022-12-06 10:41:04','2022-12-06 10:41:04','This is the FDA Regulation No. 113-08, Regulations on Environmental Impact Assessment.','Regulations on Environmental Impact Assessment','','inherit','closed','closed','','1720-autosave-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:41:04','2022-12-06 10:41:04','',1720,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5186',0,'revision','',0),(5187,42,'2022-12-06 10:41:27','2022-12-06 10:41:27','This is the FDA Regulation No. 113-08, Regulations on Environmental Impact Assessment.','Regulations on Environmental Impact Assessment','','inherit','closed','closed','','1720-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:41:27','2022-12-06 10:41:27','',1720,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5187',0,'revision','',0),(5188,42,'2022-12-06 10:41:51','2022-12-06 10:41:51','This manual is a result of the joint effort of the Environmental Protection Agency and the national stakeholders including line ministries/agencies and the private sectors. The intention is to provide the EPA, sector agencies, private sector, NGOs, members of the public and consultants a set of approved guidelines for the conduct and review of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) in Liberia.\r\n\r\nThe need to have clear guidance on the EIA process has been evident since the establishment of the EPA. EIA is a means of identifying and planning for the avoidance or minimization of environmental impacts that may arise from development and exploitation of resources, and ensuring sustainable development. It will also be customized to reflect issues that are relevant and specific to projects. While not exhaustive, the guidelines are meant to complement other sectoral EIA guidelines which may be produced by the EPA from time to time.\r\n\r\nThe Environmental Protection and Management Law (EPML) provide for a wide ranging responsibility for environmental management by the EPA. One of the most prominent issues is the need for development of administrative procedures for the preparation of EIA to ensure effective environmental governance. The required administrative procedures and how they are arranged to reflect the intent of the law is the subject of the following guidelines. These Guidelines will be reviewed periodically when necessary.','Environmental Impact Assessment Procedural Guidelines','','inherit','closed','closed','','1718-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:41:51','2022-12-06 10:41:51','',1718,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5188',0,'revision','',0),(5189,42,'2022-12-06 10:42:26','2022-12-06 10:42:26','Purpose of Act: It shall be the purpose of this Chapter to prevent entry into Liberia of injurious plant and animal pests and diseases existing in foreign countries; to prevent the spread of such pests and diseases should they become established in Liberia; and to regulate the export of plants and animals to conserve dwindling species and protect the food supplies of the Republic.','Agriculture Law - Title 3 - Liberian Code of Laws Revised','','inherit','closed','closed','','1715-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:42:26','2022-12-06 10:42:26','',1715,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5189',0,'revision','',0),(5190,42,'2022-12-06 10:43:11','2022-12-06 10:43:11','A new regulation for the Marine Fisheries Sector in the Republic of Liberia.\r\n\r\nRegulations made by the Minister of Agriculture in the exercise of the powers conferred upon the office by section 105 of Chapter 4, Sub-chapter C of Title 24 of the Laws of The Republic of Liberia (the Natural Resources Law, 1958) and approved as required by such Law and having effect from this 1st day of October A.D. 2010.','The New Fisheries Regulations','','inherit','closed','closed','','1726-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 10:43:11','2022-12-06 10:43:11','',1726,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5190',0,'revision','',0),(5191,42,'2022-12-06 10:43:36','2022-12-06 10:43:36','Liberia\'s fisheries resources are a national asset and part of our heritage therefore it is our responsibility to manage and develop them for the benefit of the country as a whole, especially for those communities upon which their livelihoods depend. If we are able to achieve this, fish has the potential to make a significant contribution to the social and economic development and wellbeing of our nation. Implementing this policy and strategy is a\r\nmajor step that we take together to achieve this vision.\r\n\r\nAs I look back over the years I see that we have achieved some milestones, particularly in the area of overcoming illegal fishing in our Fisheries Waters. Liberia, a few years ago, was subjected to an annual loss of over US$12.0 million through illegal fishing. This loss has recently significantly minimized, as a result of our relentless struggle in confronting illegal fishing, and bringing perpetrators to account. The fish resources that used to be stolen are now available for our small-scale fishers or foreign vessels that pay for the rights to fish.\r\n\r\nThese positive steps provide us with great hope for the future – a future that within this policy has been underpinned by Article 7 of the Constitution of the Republic of Liberia.\r\nThe fisheries and aquaculture policy sets out objectives for us to strengthen community stewardship of fishery resources and to support the development of up-and-down stream commercial activities. It promotes the development of sustainable aquaculture for subsistence and commercial purposes to provide more fish for food and jobs. In our industrial fisheries, we will tread with caution and establish a just rights allocation system to encourage economically viable, efficient and sustainable fisheries.\r\n\r\nThe policy recognizes the safety net that fisheries provide for our poorest people. I am abundantly aware that at a time when climate change is upon us, we need to improve the resilience of our most vulnerable people to change. However, we must also be mindful that the social and economic benefits derived from the sector are dependent on long-term ecological sustainability, so we need to implement strategies that encourage responsible use of the ecosystem.\r\n\r\nThis policy has been developed based on home grown practical experiences, captured through country-wide consultations, and best practice examples drawn from international experiences.

A combination of data collection methods\r\nwas used, including desk review, interview surveys, reconnaissance surveys, HCV-species\r\ntargeted surveys, as well as Forest Elephant and Pygmy Hippo dung sample collection. Field\r\nsurveys were carried out in two different study areas, one in central Wonegizi and one in the\r\nnorthern part of the PPA. For the corridor assessment potential sites were identified per\r\nsatellite imagery and evaluated in the field through local information and ground-truthing of\r\nforest cover, connectivity, extent of human impact and forest degradation.\r\nThe resident large mammal fauna of Wonegizi consists of 24 species, including the Western\r\nChimpanzee, seven monkey species, the Forest Elephant, Pygmy Hippo, Leopard, African\r\nGolden Cat, Bongo, Bushbuck, five duiker species, the Water Chevrotain, Red River Hog,\r\nGiant Ground Pangolin, Black-bellied and White-bellied Pangolin.

Liberia is committed to do more to further cut down on its GHG emissions with support from the international community.\r\n\r\nIt has ratified several protocols and submitted the Initial National Communications (INC) to the UNFCCC in 2013. In 2015 Liberia submitted its INDC, a gesture of its ambition to use nature-based approaches to reduce GHG emissions in light of its domestic circumstances and capabilities. More recently, Liberia ratified the Paris Agreement on climate change1 in which the Enhanced Transparency Framework was established (Article 13) to help understand, compare, harmonize and track national and global commitments in fighting climate change. The “transparency framework” requires countries to regularly provide: (i) A national inventory of greenhouse gas emissions (by sources) and removals (by sinks) (ii) Information necessary to track progress toward achieving their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) (iii) Information related to climate change impacts and adaptation (iv) Information on financial, technology transfer and capacity building support needed and received and (v) Information on any support they provide to developing countries. GEF established and operationalized the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) to support developing countries to prepare to meet the enhanced transparency requirements of the agreement in both the pre- and post-2020 period based on the Paris Agreement. Liberia’s PIF for a project titled “Building and strengthening Liberia’s national capacity to implement the transparency elements of the Paris\r\nAgreement” was submitted and approved by GEF.

Due to rapid urbanization, economic development, higher living standards and changes in consumption patterns and lifestyle, the generation rate of waste has increased. Mismanagement of solid waste tends to hinder any progress towards environmental sustainability. This study endeavored to determine the adequacy of waste management services in the city, explore the linkage between population and development and the increase in the generation of wastes.\r\n\r\nThe study assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively behavioral factors including knowledge, attitude and practices of solid waste management, collaboration among stakeholders, and challenges related to sustainable waste management in Monrovia. Households were selected randomly (simple and stratified) to show the socio-economic groups in the city. Purposive sampling was used to identify key informants or personnel in charge of waste management and the use of questionnaires captured vital information on waste management in the city.\r\n\r\nThe major findings showed the main proportion of waste generated in Monrovia was organic refuse (40.2%) followed by plastic (14.2%). Waste generated are inadequately disposed of due to the inadequate collection system, as large fragment of waste remain uncollected resulting in open dumping and burning of wastes. These waste management challenges have become heightened as a result of insufficient technology to ensure proper management, low budgetary allocations for effective waste management, lack of skilled professionals, poor implementation of\r\nregulations to ensure adequate management, and poor public awareness.','Solid Waste Management in Monrovia','','inherit','closed','closed','','2658-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 11:10:20','2022-12-06 11:10:20','',2658,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5235',0,'revision','',0),(5236,42,'2022-12-06 11:10:41','2022-12-06 11:10:41','The Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development 2018 to 2023 (PAPD) is the second in the series of 5-year National Development Plans (NDP) anticipated under the Liberia Vision 2030 framework.

Because of its strategic role for employment creation, poverty reduction, food security and income generation, the Ministry prepared an interim policy document as a precursor for the formulation and promulgation of a Comprehensive Agricultural Development Policy and a National Agricultural Investment Strategy. With funding from the current fiscal budget, which was increased by over 250% from a five-year outlay of less than US$1 million to over US$3.2 million, the Ministry, among other things, began rehabilitating the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI) located in Bong County. As a result, nine New Rice of Africa (NERICA) varieties and four high yielding local varieties are under multiplication at CARI. Additionally, 19 elite IITA cassava cultivars are being multiplied at CARI and 241 IITA cassava genotypes are undergoing testing at CARI and in six other counties. Similarly, the Ministry began reactivating the national extension system, providing assistance to local initiatives such as the Kpein Seed Multiplication Project in Nimba County. While contributing to food security and poverty alleviation, these efforts are also helping reestablish government’s presence and visibility throughout the country.','Ministry of Agriculture ANNUAL REPORT 2006','','inherit','closed','closed','','3109-revision-v1','','','2022-12-06 11:12:43','2022-12-06 11:12:43','',3109,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5238',0,'revision','',0),(5239,42,'2022-12-06 11:13:09','2022-12-06 11:13:09','A- Generalities and methods of biomonitoring program This report presents results from the biomonitoring program in 2015 in the Proposed GreboKrahn National Park (PGKNP), undertaken by survey team members from the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) and local communities, and with the supervision of the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation (WCF). Data was collected between the 26th February 2015 and the 17th of June 2015. A total of 249.32km of line transects were surveyed across the park, following the same systematic design from 2014. Data was collected on the signs of presence of large mammals, hunting and habitat disturbance (farming, mining, etc.). It was then analysed to determine the current status of wildlife and threats within the proposed park, as well as monitor their population trends.\n\nB- Abundance and spatial distribution of large mammals in Proposed Grebo-Krahn National Park (PGKNP) Two types of information were recorded: direct observations of large mammals and other animals and their indirect observations (dung, footprints, vocalizations, feeding sites and sleeping nests for chimpanzee...). Data was analysed to determine the encounter rates for each species and the spatial distribution of target species (chimpanzees, monkeys, duikers, etc.). A population estimate of chimpanzees was also calculated and provided the current estimate of 313 individuals. The data supports the idea of a stabilisation of the chimpanzee population as it is within the confidence limits of the 2014 population estimate. Some variation in distribution and encounter rates of other mammals have been documented but a longer time perspective is needed before confirming potential population trends. The isolated patch in the south of the park is an important area for biodiversity and endangered species and signs of wildlife along the Cavalla River have increased since the first phase of biomonitoring.\n\nC-Threats to wildlife of the PGNP The data collected on anthropogenic activities was treated in the same way as the wildlife data. Results seem do show a marked decrease in hunting activity, but these results must be treated with caution as the Ivorian border has been closed and there has been a ban on bush meat since the Ebola outbreak in Liberia. The expansion of Boley Village is now clearly having a negative effect of the wildlife in the horn in the north of the park. Chewing stick signs were still high within the park, but since the end of data collection law enforcement missions have taken place targeting chewing stick camps within PGKNP.\n\nD-Conclusion and Recommendations Though PGKNP still harbours high levels of biodiversity and hunting levels have decreased, FDA needs to remain vigilant that hunting pressures do not increase in a post-Ebola environment. The eviction of Boley Village must be a priority as the negative impact of hunting and farming in this settlement is having an effect on the distribution of wildlife in the north of the park. Continuing the process leading to the pre-gazettement of the park is essential in 2016 with activities such as boundary line flagging, community consultations, regional and national level meetings needed before the gazettement package can be submitted.','Biomonitoring in the Proposed Grebo-Krahn National Park REPORT ON PHASE 2','','inherit','closed','closed','','3092-autosave-v1','','','2022-12-06 11:13:09','2022-12-06 11:13:09','',3092,'https://ekmsliberia.info/?p=5239',0,'revision','',0),(5240,42,'2022-12-06 11:13:46','2022-12-06 11:13:46','This coastal zone’s Technology Needs Assessment for climate change adaptation in Liberia has been achieved through a tremendous collaborative effort by many institutions, affected and vulnerable coastal communities through stakeholders’ engagements, sites’ visits, documents and interviews with residents of coastal communities facilitated by the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia (EPA) and the TNA.
