Design of priority sections of the Costal Highway In Liberia
Design of priority sections of the Costal Highway In Liberia, After the war that ended in 2003, the Government of Liberia, with the assistance of the
donor community, developed in 2008 the first Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS). The
PRS defined the development program of the government of Liberia. It was
implemented between April 1, 2008 and June 30, 2011 (the end of the 2010/2011 fiscal
year). The main thrust of the first PRS was to build on the country’s potential. It
considers transport as a key factor in reducing poverty and raising living standards in
the medium and longer term. The National/Regional Indicative Programme of the 10th
EDF signed by the Government of Liberia and the European Commission reflects the
EC’s willingness to support the transport sector in Liberia. Within the framework of this
Indicative Programme, it has been foreseen to allocate funds for feasibility studies,
detailed designs, optional procurement services and optional supervision of works, of
which the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Phase 6 of the Coastal
Highway project; stretching from Sanniquellie to Loguatuo.
