Expertise France in Liberia

In recent years, Liberia has seen a constant strengthening of its bilateral cooperation with France and also from the European Union (main EF’s partner in Liberia) with significant funding to support the private sector development and enhance the public governance.This has resulted in a major increase of the EF’s portfolio in 2025, which now stands at €25 million and is expected to exceed €50 million by the end of the 2026.

To support this development, EF has decided to structure an office with decentralized support functions in Monrovia, as of Q1 2026. As of today, the Private Sector Development project in Liberia (PSD Liberia), funded by the EU, is about to start its implementation phase. As mentioned, other projects will follow to build up EF portfolio.

PSD’s Overall Objective of the Action is to contribute to increase the competitiveness, inclusivity and environmental sustainability of cassava, fisheries and wood processing value chains for enhanced decent job creation, economic growth, and competitiveness of Liberian MSMEs.

The Specific Objective (outcome) of the Action aims to ensure that MSMEs, with a focus on enterprises owned by women, youth and persons with disabilities, within the three targeted value chains increase their productivity and production quality so they can offer decent and inclusive job conditions while committing to environmental sustainability standards. However, this may occur only if the general ecosystem, including access to skills and business development services, is improved, therefore requiring policy dialogue at all stages of project implementation, involving the public and private sector, and EU and Liberian MSMEs.
The Action will focus on the two main areas of intervention and the related challenges: private sector development and value chain development (cassava, fisheries and wood).

Three components for the implementation of the Action have been defined as follows:

• Component 1: Improved regulatory frameworks through PPD, including a high level policy dialogue platform, and Institutional Capacity Development for a more conducive business and investment climate in line with sustainable and inclusive international standards.
• Component 2: Improved skills of MSMEs within the three target value chains, with particular emphasis on enterprises owned by women, youth and persons with disabilities.
• Component 3: Enhanced capacity of national stakeholders for creating employment and improved access to decent work opportunities for all, including marginalised groups (youth, women and persons with disabilities) for better skills, livelihoods and workplace accountability in line with International Labour Standards.

The Action is funded by the European Union and will be co-implemented by Expertise France and the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
