Progress Report on PRS Implementation

The Government of Liberia began the implementation of its Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) or Lift Liberia Development agenda in April 2008

after receiving tremendous support and commitment from its development partners. The hopes of Liberians were high and expectations were

raised as the successful implementation of the PRS promised to improve their living standards after nearly 15 years of civil war and destruction.

But after the first year of implementation, the Government reported that progress on the implementation of the Lift Liberia agenda was slow

relative to potential. This report received a lot of negative press in spite of the boldness of government to tell it like it was. It was the first time,

in recorded Liberian history, that the government had mustered the coverage to tell the Liberian people that things were going as planned but

that commitment to reverse course and accelerate implementation of the agenda was still very high on the priority list of the government.

To demonstrate this commitment, the President, H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, requested that the Cabinet meet in a technical retreat session to

review the entire PRS and identify ways to mitigate challenges and devise strategies to accelerate implementation by utilizing available

opportunities and resources. It was clear from the President that there was no room for compromise on the implementation of the Lift Liberia

agenda.

Based on the request from the President, the Liberia Reconstruction & Development Committee (LRDC), the government-partner forum charged

with the responsibility of coordinating the implementation of the PRS, organized a series of review activities that ended in a Cabinet retreat on


2/56

August 14 & 15, 2009 at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Paynesville. The retreat was held under the theme: prioritizing the priorities and

chaired by the President. In attendance were the Vice President, the Chief Justice, and a representative of the Speaker of the House of

Representatives.

During the technical review sessions, before and during the retreat, technicians from the donor community and government worked out revisedplans and strategies to accelerate implementation. In some cases, deliverables were disaggregated, re-sequenced, and clearly assigned to

implementing ministries and agencies. As a result of the disaggregation, PRS deliverables increased from 360 to nearly 490. Mechanisms to fast-

track certain policy and legislative deliverables were also put in place.

The entire process of review led to the development of 90-day action plans to which each cabinet minister and heads of agencies committed to

implementing as a demonstration of their commitment to accelerate PRS implementation. A new Pillar structure to support this 90-day action

planning was also advanced: technical sub-working groups were to meet twice a month to work the details of implementation; Pillar meetings

would be held once a month to address high level policy issues; and LRDC Steering Committee will meet once a quarter.

As a result of the vigorous PUSH from the 90-day planning, we are pleased to report that current implementation stands at nearly 90% withunscheduled deliverables being completed as a result of the urgency and attention given the PRS from the highest political authority in Liberia as

well as support from our development partners.
