Liberia Sustainable Management of Fisheries Project

About this project

The restructuring of the Liberia Sustainable Management of Fisheries Project realigns the operation's scope, objectives, and implementation arrangements to reflect findings from the Mid-Term Review and progress noted during the April 2025 follow-up mission. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is refined to: “To improve fisheries management effectiveness, strengthen aquaculture production capacity, and enhance livelihoods of targeted fishing communities in Liberia” This adjustment clarifies priorities and ensures a realistic, achievable focus on sector governance, sustainable aquaculture development, and improved livelihood outcomes for targeted beneficiaries.The restructured design emphasizes three mutually reinforcing components that directly contribute to the new PDO:• Component 1: Improving management and governance of fisheries• Component 2: Improving value-addition of fish and fish products• Component 3: Support to aquaculture developmentThe restructuring responds to implementation realities: the MTR concluded the original design was overly ambitious within the remaining timeline and budget, with major infrastructure works (including the Mesurado port and related landing sites) no longer feasible.
