USAID Liberia Civil Society Activity (CSA)

SCOPE OF WORK

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The USAID/Liberia Civil Society Activity aims to strengthen Liberian Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to more effectively engage their constituents (citizens), contribute to decision-making processes, and oversee government actions.

Objective 1 is focused on the formation of issue-based coalitions around three thematic windows. These coalitions will analyze the most critical issues that can lead to feasible reforms, co-create advocacy strategies, and translate them into improved policy formation and implementation. Under Objective 2 will employ citizen engagement strategies and policy dialogues to integrate citizens’ concerns on the advocacy agendas, close feedback loops by disseminating results of their advocacy efforts to the broader community for continued dialogue. Activities under Objectives 3 and Objective 4 will ensure that coalition members’ achievements are sustainable by building their financial resilience and adaptive capacities and linking them to a pool of Liberian private sector service providers.
