Liberia has passed through an extended period of political, social and economic instability, which left basic infrastructure, services and human assets in a shambles. Conflict and mismanagement have taken Liberia to the bottom of the Human Development Index. In the framework of the National Indicative Program, the EC has approved to fund a County Development program of €25m in September 2007. The overall objective of the program is to alleviate rural poverty, consolidate peace and democracy and sustain economic growth, improving living conditions of local communities by increasing access to basic social services, promoting income generation and job creation opportunities, and supporting more effective, efficient and democratic local administration. The global objective of the assignment was to enhance the methodology and to prepare the launching of the activities of the County Development Programme.
