The Inclusive Green Growth Pillar of UNDP Liberia recently held a donors’ coordination meeting with the Ambassador and Representatives of Embassy of Sweden in Monrovia UK in Liberia – British Embassy, Monrovia and European Union in Liberia , to discuss prospects of the Community-Based Forestry and Protected Area Management Project in Liberia, focusing on community forests and protected areas.

The discussions centered on boosting biodiversity conservation and improving the livelihoods of Forest-Fringe/Forest-Dependent Communities and Groups in Liberia.

The Project is being implemented in 7 counties, in collaboration with Liberia’s Forestry Development Authority (FDA), and in line with a wide range of national forestry policies and implementation plans.

It also considers a national forest reform law in its implementation, by promoting the sustainable management, conservation, protection, and sustainable development of Liberia’s forests; and optimizing the benefits of the forestry sector, with a focus on the contribution of the sector to poverty alleviation in Liberia.
