A Message from the Minister of

Internal Affairs

Today, as never before, development rests in the hands

of the Liberian people. Citizens from all walks of life and

all parts of Gbarpolu County came together to voice

their opinions, express their hopes for a better future

and determine the path to get them there. This County

Development Agenda was produced with and by the

people and reflects their good sensibilities and

judgment.

The Government of Liberia is making headway in the

effort to transform how it represents and interacts with

citizens. The national Poverty Reduction Strategy, which

was produced through extensive consultations with the

people, will guide national development 2008-2011. It establishes a new framework

for action and partnership between Government, civil society, the private sector and

the donor community. For the first time, a significant national strategy was developed

in response to the needs and aspirations of the people. This is just the beginning of a

new relationship between the Government and citizens.

Development is not easy. It will take many years of focused work to realize our dreams

of a more prosperous country where our children and grandchildren all can live

healthy, productive lives in a safe and peaceful environment. Success rests on three

important factors: the soundness of our strategy, the resources to support our work

and importantly the drive of our people to achieve the goals we’ve set forth. This

document lays out the right strategy, and I appeal to our donors to provide us with the

necessary support. But the real work is left to us, the Liberian people, and we must

rise together to meet the challenges ahead of us.

Ambulai B. Johnson, Jr.

Minister of Internal Affairs

Foreword

This County Development Agenda marks a major shift in

the history of Gbarpolu County. Up to now, Liberia’s

regional development has been a major disappointment:

we never had a cohesive policy and strategy; leaders

lacked vision and political will; governance and planning

were highly centralized in Monrovia; and institutions were

always constrained by a lack of adequate human

resources.

The CDA represents an important step toward addressing these issues and

achieving the sustained and inclusive national development described in the Poverty

Reduction Strategy 2008-2011. The logical starting point was to have the people

themselves articulating where they want the country to go, and in which areas they

would like to see our limited financial and human resources focused. As you will

read, a rigorous county-wide consultation exercise was undertaken in all fifteen

counties between September and December 2007. Citizens representing the

various clans, towns, districts and county government, along with our partners in

development, interacted to identify the pressing needs and priority action areas to

achieve sustained development.

While this process represents an essential first step, the CDA is meaningless if it is

not backed with concerted action. This is not just another document to be placed

on the shelf; it must be seen as a living framework for accomplishing our people’s

plan for accelerated growth and social development on a sustained basis.

The challenge is to ensure that the new expectations emerging from the CDA

process are met in a timely and comprehensive manner. The call for a combined

effort between Government, the private sector and the Citizenry could never have

been louder than it is today. To fail in delivering on the expectations contained in this

Agenda is not an option. Our success will depend on consistent planning and

programming, prudent and honest use of resources, and perhaps most importantly,

a collective will to succeed. The Liberian Government, for its part, remains

committed to making the required reforms for fulfilling the people’s vision for

development: attracting investment to create jobs, promoting balanced growth

countrywide, and decentralizing governance.

Our sincere thanks go to all the participants in these CDA exercises: County

officials, Town, Clan and Paramount Chiefs, Legislators, representatives of the

Ministries and Agencies, Civil Society organizations, international and local non-

governmental organizations, and private sector partners. We would also like to

thank all those who assisted our team in the CDA process: the staffs of the

participating Ministries and Agencies, cooks, cultural troupes, and students that

ensured the success of CDA events. Finally, we thank our international partners,

the UN Family, the EU, and USAID, among others who provided both financial and

technical support to the entire process. Further such successful collaboration will be

crucial as we move into the implementation phase of this historic and essential

effort.

Preface

The County Development Agenda reflects the

overriding desire of the Citizens of Gbarpolu County

to be active participants in the noble national

endeavor known as the Poverty Reduction Strategy

2008-2011. That document and process can be

referred to as the blueprint of national reconstruction,

the roadmap for Liberia’s development, a golden

opportunity for growth. The CDA is Gbarpolu

County’s contribution to the PRS effort, wherein the

people stand up and express their desires for development, and make a

commitment to helping achieve their collective goals.

Like the PRS, this CDA identifies four priority areas, or “Pillars”, of our effort to

reduce poverty: Peace and Security, Economic Revitalization, Governance and the

Rule of Law, and Infrastructure and Basic Services. The Citizens of Gbarpolu

County have identified Pillar Four as the area most in need of immediate action.

As with any effort of this size and importance, preparing the County Development

Agenda of Gbarpolu County has been a challenging exercise. It involved the active

participation of numerous partners in local and international civil society, local and

national Government, and the private sector. Additionally, Liberia’s donor partners

made great contributions to the process.

I extend my warmest thanks and appreciation to all the hard-working citizens of the

County who took the time to participate in these consultations about our collective

future. Special thanks go out to our donor partners for their engagement and

support, to the the staff of the Central Administration of the County, and most

especially to the staff of UNMIL Civil Affairs. The citizens are grateful for your

assistance as we embark on this historic process to transform Bomi County, and

indeed, the Republic of Liberia.

Executive Summary

The newest of Liberia’s fifteen political sub-divisions, over the decades Gbarpolu

County slowly became an isolated and impoverished place. It was also one of the

worst affected by the war, suffering extensive damage to infrastructure and basic

services as well as mass displacements and loss of life. As a key component of the

recovery effort, the County Development Agenda is the local complement to the

national Poverty Reduction Strategy 2008-2011, and was prepared following a

series of seven District Development Consultation meetings that utilized the

Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method. In this process, Gbarpolu residents

managed to identify the critical interventions needed to move toward realizing the

MDGs, including: paving of all primary roads and most secondary roads; the

construction and rehabilitation of health facilities with proper staffing and affordable

services; and much-expanded education services. The CDA calls for concrete

actions to be taken under the four Pillars of the PRS, namely Security, Economic

Revitalization, Governance and Rule of Law, and Infrastructure and Basic Services.

A number of cross-cutting issues are also considered, and guidelines are presented

for implementation of the County’s development plans. Finally, the CDA lists the

specific projects that were identified for action at the District level. The projects and

priorities in the CDA should be taken as the principal targets for the county’s

development funding during the CDA implementation period.

PART ONE - INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.1! Introduction

This section attempts to describe the County’s history, its natural, social, and

economic conditions at present, and identifies the areas of greatest need as a basis

for action planning toward poverty reduction and sustainable growth. In spite of the

glaring problems, the County is well-situated to emerge from its present plight, being

endowed with ample natural resources.

1.2! History

Created in 2003 from territory previously known as Lower Lofa County, Gbarpolu is

the newest of Liberia’s fifteen political sub-divisions. The County seat of Bopolu City

is famous as the home and final resting place of King Sao Boso of the Kingdom of

Suehn-Bopolu, who resolved the conflict between the settlers of the Mississippi

Colonization Society and the natives, paving the way for their co-existence in the

coastal areas. Bopolu also served as a stop along the route for the trans-Sahara

trade. In spite of an illustrious history that far predates the arrival of the settlers from

America, over the decades Bopolu and its environs slowly became an isolated and

impoverished place.

The County was formed through the excision of two Statutory Districts, Bopolu and

Gbarma, with five administrative districts – Gbarma and Kongba, and Bopolu, Belle

and Bokomu respectively - from Lofa County, amalgamating them into six

administrative districts - Bopolu, Gbarma, Kongba, Belle, Bokomu and Gou-Nwolala

(the latter was excised from Bokomu District). The district seats are Bopolu City,

which also serves as the County capital, Gbarma Town, Zuie Town, Belle Baloma,

Gumgbeta and Palakwelleh respectively.

Most social services and infrastructure in Liberia have always been concentrated in

Monrovia and a few coastal areas. The remainder of the country, including Gbarpolu

County, has been largely neglected. The disparity in living standards between urban

dwellers and those in the hinterland was a major cause of the civil conflict that took

nearly a quarter of a million lives and left many homes and infrastructure destroyed.

Gbarpolu County was one of the worst affected by the war.

In support of the decentralization initiatives by the Government of H.E. President Ellen

Johnson Sirleaf, the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) established County

Support Teams (CST) in each county to ensure a participatory and consolidated

approach to addressing County challenges, supporting government through the

Superintendent’s Office, and building the capacity of government institutions so that

they can take over responsibility for security, reconstruction and development.

The County’s flag consists of a gold background on which a centrally placed diamond

is flanked on the right by a tree symbolizes the richness of its resources. Given these

resources, Gbarpolu County is well placed to recover strongly from the long national

crisis.

1.3! Geography

The densely forested County occupies an area of approximately 1,263 square miles,

and is located in the western region of Liberia. The County has borders with Lofa to

the North, Bong to the East, Bomi to the South, and Grand Cape Mount County and

Sierra Leone to the West.

2! Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Page 15: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Climate

Like most of Liberia, Gbarpolu enjoys a tropical climate with a long rainy season

between March and October. The average temperature is 28 degrees Celsius and

the prevailing wind is from the Southwest.

Topography

The County has two main mountain ranges, Kpo and Fanyea, and three main river

systems, the Lofa and St. Paul that form the boundary with Lofa, Bong and Bomi

counties, and the Mahe River. It has many large creeks and streams that are

tributaries of these main rivers, and two large waterfalls: Goma and Zalakai.

Geology

There are various mineral resources in Gbarpolu County; gold and diamonds are the

most commonly exploited. Gold deposits are found in Henry’s Town, Weasua, and

Belekpalamu, while diamond deposits are found in Tarkpoima, Sirleaf Town, Smith

Camp, and other sites. Iron ore has been discovered, and unconfirmed reports point

to the existence of potentially valuable lead, manganese, silver, fluorite, graphite and

copper deposits.

Vegetation

Gbarpolu contains significant portions of the Upper Guinea Forest. Most of this forest

is deciduous and mountain in nature, covering all three main forest classes: class 3.1–

forest with small agricultural; class 3.2–open dense forest; and class 3.3–closed

dense forest.

1.4! Demography1

Population (General)

Until the results of the national census are published in 2008, we rely on older

estimates. Prior to the war, the 1984 census placed the population of the area of

Lower Lofa that eventually became Gbarpolu at 131,227, while a projection by the

Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Systems (LISGIS) estimated the

population at 120,739 people. Households in Gbarpolu County are said to have an

average size of 5.49 persons, higher than the national average of 5.6. The County’s

dependency ratio is 1.20. Households are headed primarily by men (91%), again

higher than the national average of 87%. Elder-headed households account for some

8%, about the same as the national average.

conducted this village profile assessment from September 2004 to January 2005 across the country.

Page 17: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Religion

Although predominantly Christian, the County has a significant Muslim population and

relationships between the religious groups and integration of traditional norms have

been largely harmonious.

1.5! Institutional Structure

Gbarpolu’s relative newness as a County, its remoteness and its geographic isolation

from the seat from which it was previously administered (Voinjama in Upper Lofa) led

to a relative lack of administrative institutions being founded. The County has eleven

(11) chiefdoms and twenty-seven (27) clans.

1.6 Methodology

The County Development Agenda is the local expression of the national aspirations in

the Poverty Reduction Strategy 2008-2011. The CDA was developed alongside the

PRS and can be seen as the local strategy to carry the nation toward its PRS goals.

The process started with a series of 132 Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)

workshops at the district level in all counties, where district development priorities

were identified. Following these meetings, district representatives met in each County

to identify three priority needs out of the priorities identified during the district

workshops. Finally, a series of three regional meetings gathered representatives from

the 15 counties to consolidate and harmonize county priorities into regional priorities,

which served as the basis for the drafting of the PRS.

In Gbarpolu County, the consultations covered Bopolu and Gbarma Districts, Kongba

District, and Belle, Bokomu and Gou-Nwolala Districts respectively. Delegates

prepared clan-based timelines of development events in their areas as well as known

resources and clan profiles. Crosscutting issues such as gender sensitivity, HIV/AIDS.

Thereafter the districts considered challenges and, using SWOT (Strengths,

Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and Problem/Solution Mapping

techniques, developed the District Action Plans annexed hereon. These plans were

then analysed and consolidated at a County Development Agenda Consolidation

Meeting that informed the County Action Plan below.

Gbarpolu County Development Agenda! 5

Page 18: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda
Page 19: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

PART TWO - PRIORITIES, ISSUES AND ACTIONS

Part Two lays out the development issues for action as identified by the citizens of the

County. The three most urgent priorities for action are considered first, followed by the

wider list of actions to be taken over the next five years, presented by Pillar area, as in

the PRS. Finally, six major cross-cutting issues are considered, including discussion

of the context and objectives for each.

2.1! Development Priorities

As discussed above, the County’s development priorities were decided through a

process of participatory consultation at the district level, followed by a process of

consolidation at the county level. The three priorities for development that are

common to all the districts in the County are 1) roads, 2) health facilities and 3)

educational facilities. To bring about development in those priority areas, specific

secondary roads, health facilities and educational facilities were prioritized for

construction or rehabilitation among the various districts, as listed in the Annexes

below.

2.2! Security Pillar

The County is largely calm and stable, although the lack of a proper road network in

the County has prevented UNMIL peacekeepers, as the main security guarantor, to

establish its presence in all areas. The land-locked districts and remote areas in

Bopolu, Gbarma and Kongba Districts, mining areas and border transit points in

particular complain of a lack of security agencies.

Liberia National Police

Police staffing in the County–although having risen from four officers in 2006 to 49

officers currently–is still inadequate to cover such a wide and diverse area. Facilities

for the LNP officers are also inadequate. A new police station has been constructed in

Bopolu City, replacing the palava hut they previously used, but no proper police

stations or depots exist anywhere else in the County.

Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN)

Like the LNP, the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN) is inadequately

represented and equipped. The thirty-eight officers deployed to cover the County are

inadequate to the task, given the long and porous border. Apart from one checkpoint

Gbarpolu County Development Agenda! 7

Page 20: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

at Gbarma Town, Gbarma District, BIN lacks the capability of monitoring the ingress

and egress, activities and movements of aliens in the County. Given that the UN

disarmament and demobilization program did not reach Kumgbor and other parts of

Kongba District, the continuing presence of arms the in the area may be a

destabilizing factor in the consolidation of state authority and control over natural

resources.

Gbarpolu County is a part of the BIN Region 2 command structure. The County

shares a border with Sierra Leone, and uncontrolled cross-border traffic and

unregistered aliens conducting illicit mining in Gbarma, Bopolu and Kongba Districts

poses a risk to the hard-won peace in Liberia. Given the distance from Monrovia, the

local BIN forces are in dire need of 4x4 vehicles, motor bikes, uniforms, generators,

computer and communication equipment, as well as barracks for the officers in

Bopolu, Weasua, Kumgbor and Gbarma.

Corrections

The Bureau of Corrections and Rehabilitation counts Gbarpolu as one of the counties

totally lacking of corrections facilities. Local authorities must result to improvising

detention and transportation arrangements at great peril to their own safety, and

cannot meet the minimum human/prisoner’s rights requirements.

Page 22: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

2.3! Governance and Rule of Law Pillar

The consolidation of state authority in Gbarpolu has been hampered by the lack of

administrative capacity and physical infrastructure, absence of personnel from their

areas of responsibility, and poor communications infrastructure. The construction of

an Administration Building in Bopolu City will address office accommodation needs for

County officials and line ministry representatives, but similar structures are required at

district level to address local government needs. Protracted absence of government

officials or their lack of willingness to deploy permanently to the County has a

detrimental effect on provision of services and implementation of programmes.

The recent completion of a UNMIL Quick Impact Project-funded Courthouse in

Bopolu has assisted the Judiciary immensely in restoring rule of law in the County, as

it houses both the 16th Circuit Court and the Bopolu District Magistrate’s Court.

Magistrates are also present in Gbarma, Weasua and Kumgbor, although they do not

have courthouses from which to operate. Unfortunately, Belle, Bokomu and Gou-

Nwolala have no magistrates or courts, and access to justice in these areas is

immensely difficult. The lack of a County detention facility has been a severe

impediment to the efficient operations of the Judiciary in the County. Suspects are

currently remanded in Tubmanburg and Monrovia, and without a Corrections Officer

with transportation the Judiciary find it hard to hear and conclude cases expeditiously,

further aggravating the citizens’ access to justice and human rights.

Goal: To build and operate efficient and effective institutions and systems, in partnership with the citizens, that will promote and uphold democratic governance, accountability, justice for all and strengthen peace

Strategic objective 1: To increase and enhance citizen participation in and ownership of government policy formulation and implementation

Given the current constitutional provi-sions, political and economic decision-making have taken a top-down approach for a long time with local leadership and actors playing a lim-ited role in the process that impact their lives which has led to wide spread poverty and non-accountability in the use of public re-sources.

2.4! Economic Revitalisation Pillar

Gbarpolu County is situated in what was once known as the nation’s breadbasket,

and market women from Monrovia still travel regularly to the weekly markets in

Bopolu, Gogala, Gbarma and Yangaryah. There is also some cash crop farming on

small-scale rubber and palm plantations, whose potential have not been fully

exploited. The Ministry of Agriculture and several non-governmental organisations

(NGOs) are engaged in seed multiplication, development farms and animal husbandry

projects in a bid to revive the agricultural sector in the County. Gbarpolu’s many

creeks and streams are also rich with fish, crocodiles, turtles and other aquatic

animals. Traditional methods of fishing with nets, hooks, baskets and water fences

are being augmented by NGOs with the introduction of ponds for fish farming in

several towns. The abundance of game in the Kongba and Belle forests gave rise to

a substantial “bush meat” trade that unfortunately has endangered some of the

species. Traders from Monrovia still ply the route to Kumgbor and to Zorzor in Lofa

County to buy meat from these forests.

Although the main source of livelihood in Gbarpolu is subsistence agriculture,

Gbarpolu also has an abundance of exploitable timber and mineral resources.

Natural Resources

The County has a rich resource base, with significant amounts of timber, gold,

diamonds and iron ore. Timber and mineral exploitation have played a significant role

in the economic fortunes of Lower Lofa, and properly managed, these resources can

be the prospective strategic drivers of the country’s economic revitalisation.

Timber

The forest provides many resources for the County. As a part of the forestry reform

program, the Government of Liberia (GOL) cancelled all concession agreements

across Liberia. Consequently, there exists no large skill or formal forestry activity in the

County, though small-scale pit sawing is evident in many areas. Apart from logs,

people depend on the forest for raffia and medicinal herbs, charcoal and fire wood.

Despite the economic importance of the forest, it is continuously depleted by shifting

cultivation and unregulated logging.

Gbarpolu forests are deeded forests, meaning that the communities are the outright

owners of the land. As this could have an impact on the exploitation of the forest

reserves, the Forestry Development Authority has carried out a series of sensitization

workshops on the New Forestry Law. Pit-sawing is having a negative impact on the

potential yield from timber production. Most of the proceeds go to local chiefs who

control the forests in their regions. There are also reports from FDA on illegal cross-

border trade in timber and forest products from Kongba District. This has a negative

impact on County’s revenue and security. Other negative impacts are unregulated

12! Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Page 25: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

timber felling for charcoal and firewood, and slash & burn agriculture, which renders

the forests ecologically unsustainable.

Mining

Gold and diamonds are the most commonly exploited mineral resources in the

County. Unregulated artisanal gold wells are present in Henry’s Town, Weasua and

Belekpalamu in Bopolu, Gbarma and Gou-Nwolala Districts, among others. There are

also unregulated artisanal diamond mines in Tarkpoima, Sirleaf Town, Smith Camp,

Ballah Camp and Weasua in Gbarma District; and Kumgbor, Camp Alpha, and Camp

Kamara in Kongba District. The company American Mining Associates hopes to

revive its diamond mining operations in Kumgbor, while the South African owned

Mano River Resources Company has set up its diamond mining headquarters in

Weasua. Two Liberian-owned mining companies with foreign backing, Liberty Gold

Group of Companies and African Erica Resources Company, are hoping to establish

gold mining in Henry Town, Bopolu District, and in Belle District. BHP-Billiton and

Mittal Steel are exploring the possibility of establishing iron-ore mining operations in

Gongbeya and Bondi-Mandingo Clan areas of Bopolu District.

Agricultural Products

Agriculture, especially rice farming, is the chief occupation of locals in Gbarpolu.

Households grow vegetables, eddoes, bananas, plantains, sweet potatoes and

cassava as food crops. Rubber, oil palm, coffee, cocoa, and plantain/banana

constitute the major cash crops of the County (see Figure below). Palm nuts are

processed into the staple palm oil for sale and domestic consumption. Two other

Gbarpolu County Development Agenda! 13

Page 26: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

important sources of income are hunting and fishing. About 63% of households were

engaged in inland fishing in rivers, creeks and swamps in 2005.

Among Liberian counties, Gbarpolu has one of the worst food access profiles after

Bomi, Lofa and Grand Kru. The County has a high percentage of highly vulnerable

food insecure people. The irony is the County has very fertile arable land that can

produce tremendous yields to feed its people and others. According to the famers,

the real constraints to increased output are the lack of household labor, seeds, tools

and access to capital.

Provision of seeds and seedlings and tools to farmers (as up to 62% of

household did not have seeds for the planting season in 2005

Provision of extension training in modern methodologies to mitigate pests, plant

diseases, and animal attack

Provision of low-interest rates loans to farmers for the hiring of extra labourers

and other inputs

Three potential investment and employment generation projects were identified and

presented for consideration during the CDA Regional Consultations:

establishment of an agro-industry corporation to develop plantations, animal

husbandry, and food processing in the appropriate areas in the County’s six

districts. Belle, Bokomu and Gou-Nwolala Districts have high potential for food

crops while Bopolu, Gbarma and Kongba Districts have high potential for tree

crops. There is adequate land available for plantations of both food and tree

crops in all six districts. The County administration has requested the district

administrations to identify “land banks” of at least 50,000 acres of land suitable

for large-scale agricultural development.

establishment of a Wood Processing and Furniture Manufacturing industry with

facilities in the timber producing areas of the County. Gbarpolu has great forest

product potential with commercially viable forests in Belle, Bokomu, Gou-

Nwolala, Bopolu and Kongba Districts, where the FDA has intimated that

Forestry Management Contracts (FMC) and Timber Sales Contracts (TSC) will

be available under the National Forest Management Strategy. The County

intends to promote processing of the timber products at sawmills and furniture

manufacturing plants within the County so as to benefit from value-addition as

opposed to raw timber, and to promote income generation and employment

opportunities.

developing tourism initiatives in forestry conservancy areas identified by FDA

under the National Forest Management Strategy. Gbarpolu’s forests have a

diverse range of flora and fauna, scenic areas and an environment suitable for

development of small eco-friendly hotels, get-away lodges and safari camps.

14! Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Page 27: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

The County also intends to ensure proper management of her other mineral

resources, mainly gold and diamonds, and invest the County proceeds from Mineral

Development Agreements in expanding the road network, education and health

infrastructure, and promote agriculture and other income-generation activities for the

citizens. Individual illegal artisan alluvial

miners conduct most of the County’s

mining activities at present, and the

County will encourage these individual

miners to legitimise and consolidate their

enterprises into cooperative ventures to

access benefits from economies of

scale. Large-scale mining endeavours

will benefit from cooperation and

coordination with the Ministry of Lands

Mines and Energy.

Diamonds: A relatively large area (60 x 120 km) along the western border with

Sierra Leone between the Lofa River and the Mano River is underlain by the

Archean Mano Craton, suggesting high potential of diamondiferous kimberlites,

the primary source of diamonds. Two of Gbarpolu’s six districts fall wholly within

this area, and practically all river systems in the area carry diamonds and host

extensive areas of artisanal diamond workings. Currently, Mano River

Resources, the holder of the Kpo License, has conducted extensive geological

field work and discovered 6 kimberlites in the Weasua area of Gbarma District,

of which four are confirmed as pipes of diamondiferous nature, two with

substantial surface areas. Numerous high-interest indicator mineral anomalies,

which have not yet been sufficiently interpreted, are indicating that more pipes

may remain to be discovered in the Weasua kimberlite cluster area. American

Mining Associates is exploring similar potentialities in the Kumgbor area of

Kongba District.

Gold: Liberty Gold Group of Companies and Diamond Fields of Canada are

actively exploring gold mining potential in Henry Town and the Ducor Minerals

License area in Bopolu District.

Iron ore: Potential iron ore deposits in the Bomi East and Bong Range may also

provide the County additional mineral development opportunities. The

government has yet to tender the exploration licenses in these areas, although

BHP Billiton has been conducting some geological surveys in the Gongbeya

Chiefdom area of Bopolu District, which would likely fall within these clusters.

Goal: Restoring production in the leading natural resource sectors, especially agriculture,

while ensuring the benefits are widely shared; and reducing production costs to establish

the foundation for diversification of the economy over time into competitive production of

downstream products, and eventually manufactures and services.

Strategic objective 1: Develop more competitive, efficient, and sustainable food and agricultural value

chains and linkages to markets.

Agricultural sup-ply chains have collapsed due to fragmented mar-kets, weak rural demand, no value addition, and few incen-tives for cash crop production.

Provide business development services and incentives to encourage business investment in the county, and to encourage the value addition/manufacture of goods for local consumption and export, including:

the establishment of an agro-industry corporation to de-velop plantations, animal husbandry, and food processing industry in the appropriate areas in the six districtsto encourage the establishment of a Wood Processing and Furniture Manufacturing industry with facilities in the tim-ber producing areas of the County. to support the establishment of agricultural cooperatives in all the six districts by targeting farmers in all the eleven chiefdoms

2.5! Infrastructure and Basic Services Pillar

Healthcare

In spite of some recent advances, access to healthcare in the County is limited and

the quality of care is generally low, as the infrastructure was devastated in the war.

Many facilities are in need of upgrading and rehabilitation, and staffing with adequate

qualified personnel is a chronic problem. The recently completed Chief Jallah Lone

Health center is the only hospital in the County. The County Health Team operates

the hospital and 11 clinics with the assistance of Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA)

and Save the Children UK (SC-UK). Bopolu District hosts the hospital and has clinics

in Henry’s, Bamboo and Gbayarma Towns. There are clinics in Gbarma District in

Gbarma, Yangaryah and Tarkpoima Towns, while in Kongba District the clinic is in

Kumgbor Town; Belle District has the Badee clinic; Bokomu District a clinic in

Gbangay; and Gou-Nwolala District has a newly opened clinic in Kpayeakwelleh.

Education

Like the health sector, the education sector in Gbarpolu was devastated by the civil

crisis. Most schools were destroyed and are not yet fully functional. There is also a

chronic lack of trained teachers. The Bopolu Central high school in Bopolu and Zuo

Mission high school in Gbarma are the only senior high schools in the County. There

are junior high schools in Gbarma and Belle Districts, and twenty-four elementary

schools in Bopolu, nineteen in Gbarma, fourteen in Kongba, seventeen in Belle,

sixteen in Bokomu and ten in Gou-Nwolala.

Gbarpolu County Development Agenda! 17

Page 30: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Water and Sanitation

Access to safe drinking water is very

poor in all parts of Gbarpolu. The

majority of inhabitants depend solely on

creeks for drinking and household use,

and are therefore susceptible to water-

borne diseases. The sanitary condition

is equally desperate, as there are few

proper latrine facil it ies in most

communities.

Roads

The road network in the County is also very poor, becoming extremely difficult to

traverse in the rainy season. Road access to Fassama in Belle District is possible only

during the dry season, and due to the condition of the bridges on the route. There is

no road access to Bokomu or Gou-Nwolala. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf indicated

during a visit to Bopolu and Belle Yalla this year that a road would be constructed

from Bopolu to Belle Yalla during her administration, which would open up access to

Belle and Bokomu Districts.

Communications

Mobile network access is very poor in the County, with access only at Sawmill

Junction, Gbarma Town and some parts of Bopolu. LoneStar Cell has constructed

towers at Bopolu City and Lofa Bridge and the service is available within a short

radius of the towns.

2.6! Cross-Cutting Issues

In the public consultations that led to the development of the CDAs and the PRS,

participants managed to identify a set of five cross-cutting themes for consideration in

implementing local and national development plans: Gender Equity; HIV and AIDS;

Peacebuilding; Environment; and Children and Youth. As part of the effort to

mainstream these issues into all the development initiatives at the County level, this

section lays out the context and objectives for each. The greater PRS document

addresses in detail the specific steps to be taken under the four Pillars to address

each of the cross-cutting issues.

Gender Equity

The County is strongly committed to gender equity as a means to maintain peace,

reduce poverty, enhance justice and promote development. Despite the progress

since the end of the war, gender continues to play a decisive role in determining

access to resources and services. Women and girls continue to have limited access

to education, health services and judicial services, which has severely curtailed their

participation in the formal economy. Women and girls have been missing out on

opportunities and participation in management and decision-making on all levels of

the society. This trend has contributed to feminization of poverty in the County, and in

Liberia as a whole.

Sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) is blight on Liberian society and for many

Liberian women and girls, the appalling violence they experienced during wartime still

20! Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Page 33: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

occur. Currently, rape is the most frequently reported serious crime in Liberia. In 2007,

38% of the protection cases reported by UNHCR/NRC monitors were SGBV related

and reports from 2008 show similar trend. Domestic violence is endemic (26% of all

reported protection cases) and Liberia has among the highest rates of teenage

pregnancy in the world. Of the 155 protection incidents reported in the County during

January-May 2008, 25.2% and 19.4% relate to SGBV and domestic violence

respectively.

Destruction of institutions during the war affected all Liberians, but particularly limited

women’s and girls’ access to education; today, the ratio of girls’ to boys’ enrolment is

95/100 at the primary level, decreasing to 75/100 in secondary schools, and twice as

many women as men are illiterate. Despite the laws recognizing equality of the sexes,

customary law and practices prevail, some of which are harmful to women and girls.

Customary law infringes on women’s and girls’ rights, including the right to property.

The CDA lays the groundwork for the achievement of gender equity and women’s and

girls’ empowerment, promoting equitable access to resources and benefits. Gender

equity considerations will be incorporated in the development and implementation of

the economic growth strategy, with the ultimate goal of promoting women’s economic

empowerment. To build a more effective responsive and supportive legal, social and

political environment, including all aspects of protection and access to justice, health

care, and education, the CDA includes measures for the prevention of and response

to GBV including addressing the roots of the crime and the promotion of increasing

the number of women in national security institutions. Toward the building of capacity,

the County will support the mandate of the Ministry of Gender and Development

(MoGD) to take the lead in implementing and monitoring the National Gender Policy,

the PRS, and international conventions as well as to mainstream gender in legal,

constitutional, and governance reforms. The County authorities are committed to

ensuring that all monitoring data collected are disaggregated by age and sex, where

applicable.

Peacebuilding

While the CDA is an important mechanism through which peacebuilding can be

integrated into poverty reduction, the CDA is itself an exercise in peacebuilding. The

process of preparing the CDA and the PRS through broad-based participation and

consultation, reaching consensus, and transparent and accountable decision-making

inspires confidence in the government and in peaceful coexistence. These principles

are central to building trust and consolidating peace.

While the causes of violent conflict are multi-faceted, deep-rooted and complex, there

are six key issue areas which require focused attention in the implementation of the

CDA to mitigate their potential to mobilize groups for violent action.

Gbarpolu County Development Agenda! 21

Page 34: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Land conflicts – Land disputes have become a manifestation of conflict over identity

and citizenship issues. There is a proliferation of land disputes over tenure and

ownership, the reintegration of refugees and ex-combatants into communities in

relation to property, the property rights of women, and private concessions.

Youth – Young men and women have been denied education, have had their

transition from childhood to adulthood interrupted by war, have few skills and are

often burdened with many of the responsibilities of adults, particularly as heads of

households and income earners. Unmet expectations with this group could trigger

significant social unrest, not only in County, but across Liberia and the region.

Political polarization – Reaching political consensus on the rules of the game,

supporting reconciliation rather than polarization, and de-linking political and

economic power are essential.

Management of natural resources – The County’s wealth of natural resources has not

benefited the citizens as a whole but has served to create inequalities and

resentment.

The State and its citizens – The Liberian State historically has been more predatory in

nature than protective of its citizens; it created and exacerbated social divisions by

marginalizing and denigrating certain social groups, and consolidating the domination

of elites.

Weak and dysfunctional justice systems – The formal and customary justice systems

do not provide justice and have created a system of impunity.

Integrating peacebuilding into local and national development planning requires the

authorities to adopt a new set of principles which are central to the process of

democratization, of improving governance and of consolidating peace. The media,

civil society organizations, the private sector and all other institutions have an

important role to play in ensuring that these principles are upheld:

Meaningful Inclusion and Participation – Creating space for ordinary citizens to speak

on the issues that concern them through sustainable processes of consultation is

fundamental to peace. This must be inclusive to all ethnic and identity groups such as

women and girls, men and boys, ex-combatants, war-affected populations, political

parties, and civil society organizations.

Empowerment – In order for all Liberians to participate, disadvantaged, grassroots

and rural groups need to be empowered by giving them the tools and capacities to

participate and take ownership of decision-making processes.

Consensus building – It is not enough to listen to different perspectives; somehow

they must be translated into the public interest as a basis for collective action.

22! Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Page 35: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Responsiveness – If no action is taken by local government in response to the

concerns expressed by citizens, then the exercise of consultation is futile.

Transparency and accountability – Local government actions must be visible to the

public to ensure they are taken in the interest of all citizens and not simply for the sake

of any personal or group advancement. The mismanagement of the past, in which a

small elite gained economic advantage over the majority, was a key factor in the

conflict.

Fairness and impartiality – Rules and opportunities must apply to all citizens equally,

regardless of status. The failure of the state in the past to be a fair and impartial

mediator was another key source of conflict.

Environmental Issues

The people of the County, and especially the poor, are critically dependent on fertile

soil, clean water and healthy ecosystems for their livelihoods and wellbeing. This

reliance creates complex, dynamic interactions between environmental conditions,

people’s access to and control over environmental resources, and poverty. In addition

to being vulnerable to environmental hazards, the poor are usually confronted by

economic, technological and policy-related barriers in deriving full benefits from their

environmental assets. Taking strategic actions based on knowledge of the poverty-

environment relationship is a prerequisite for enduring success in the effort to reduce

poverty. Investments in the productivity of environmental assets will generate large

benefits for the poor and for the enhancement of overall growth.

The CDA lays the foundation for sustainable protection and use of the County’s

natural environment for the sake of improving livelihoods and wellbeing. The

“resource curse” that characterized Liberia’s past was typified by mismanagement of

the proceeds from extractive industries and their misuse that undermined national

security, governance and rule of law; and channeled most of the benefits of

Gbarpolu County Development Agenda! 23

Page 36: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

economic growth to a small elite. Eliminating this curse requires the establishment or

restoration of proper administration and management of natural resource uses.

HIV and AIDS

HIV and AIDS is a major challenge because the epidemic has the potential to slow the

progress of many initiatives meant to build much-needed human capital and revitalize

the economy. Ensuring that this does not happen requires that the citizens be

empowered with the appropriate skills to arrest the spread of HIV and to minimize the

impact. Integrating HIV and AIDS into poverty reduction strategies helps to create the

necessary policy and planning environment for a comprehensive, multi-sectoral

response.

While no County-specific data is available, a 2007 DHS estimates national HIV

prevalence at 1.5 percent, or 1.8 percent for females and 1.2 percent for males. A

previous estimate of 5.7 percent was based on the results of sentinel surveillance

among pregnant women and girls attending ten antenatal care (ANC) clinics in urban

areas. Future studies will seek to reconcile these seemingly disparate findings.

In any event, the war left most of the population severely challenged in meeting their

social, cultural and economic needs, thereby making them vulnerable to a sharp

increase in HIV prevalence, the likely result of which would be a negative impact on

development: increased child and adult morbidity and mortality, increased

absenteeism at the workplace and in schools, and lower economic output, among

other effects.

HIV and AIDS-related vulnerability impacts a broad spectrum of the population,

especially young people and females in particular, such that in Liberia as elsewhere,

there is an increasing feminization of the epidemic.

By strengthening the health infrastructure at the County level, the CDA works to

promote human development by reducing the impact of HIV and AIDS vulnerability,

morbidity and mortality. County health and social welfare authorities will participate in

the development and implementation of a new national multi-sectoral strategic

framework led by the NAC, reducing new HIV infections through the provision of

information, and scaling up access to treatment and care services, mitigating the

impact of the epidemic on those already infected and affected.

Children and Youth

The County is strongly committed to reducing and laying the groundwork for

eliminating child poverty as a key feature of the CDA and PRS. Children are at high

risk of becoming the next generation of impoverished citizens unless substantive

measures are taken to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. Poverty reduction

efforts must have children at the core.

Children make up the majority of the population of the County. Nationally, around 17

percent of child deaths are attributable to malaria and another 20 percent to

preventable environmental diseases such as diarrhea and cholera. Almost forty

percent of children are growth-stunted from poor nutrition, about one third of under-

fives are severely underweight, and recent

estimates indicate that one in five deaths in children

under-five is attributable to malnutrition. Less than

half of all births are delivered by a health

professional, which contributes to an unacceptably

high (and apparently rising) maternal mortality rate.

Furthermore, young female citizens suffer the brunt

of the epidemic of gender based violence (GBV).

The majority of girls have their first child before

reaching the age of 18 due to forced early

marriages and rape. As a result, the HIV infection

rate among pregnant female adolescents and

young women was 5.7 percent in 2007.

Many of the young people have spent more time

engaged in war than in school. Nationally, almost

35 percent of the population has never attended

school, including nearly 44 percent of females.

Illiteracy rates among children and young people

remain high at 68 percent (male 55 percent and

female 81 percent).

As discussed above, only a fraction of classrooms in the County is in good condition

with furniture and functioning latrines, and textbooks are scarce. With educational

levels low and youth unemployment on the increase, the County’s young people lack

the necessary tools to make productive contributions to the social and economic

development of the nation.

Children and youth also have limited access to justice or the protection and

enforcement of their rights under the legal system. Protecting the rights of children

will contribute to achieving poverty reduction goals and ensure the active participation

of children and young people in supporting good governance and the growth agenda

over the long term.

County authorities will make special efforts to ensure that its institutions, policies and

processes consider the needs of children and youth as a priority by implementing a

human rights approach to development and an inclusive and participatory

governance structure.

Human Rights

The Government of Liberia and County authorities are deeply committed to upholding

internationally-recognized human rights standards. After many years of generalized

deprivation and rampant, even systematic abuses, the country has made important

progress towards the fulfillment of its human rights obligations. The overall security

situation is now stable, control has been asserted in areas previously held by rebel

groups, and a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has been established.

The actions called for in this CDA and in the PRS 2008-2011 are intended to make

further progress toward addressing the many human rights concerns that remain.

Limited access to justice, and weak judicial and security systems continue to lead to

incidents of mob justice, trial by ordeal, prolonged pre-trial detentions, and

overcrowding in prisons. Access to quality health care and education is a constant

challenge for most rural residents, as the number of schools, hospitals and qualified

personnel do not meet basic needs. The epidemic of violence and harmful traditional

practices against women and girls continues in spite of the enactment of a new rape

law and other legislation.

As evidenced throughout the PRS, the Government will continue to enact progressive

legislation and take policy steps toward the furtherance of human rights. Local and

national officeholders will hold personnel of all sectors accountable to uphold

international human rights standards. Civil society organizations and the private sector

will play an important role not only in supporting government efforts in the human

rights realm, but also in offering constructive input to policy development and

implementation.

PART THREE - IMPLEMENTATION

3.1! Principle Guide for County Development Funding

Being the embodiment of the needs and aspirations of the citizens of the County, and

having been developed through a participatory process based on the input of a wide

variety of stakeholders in the public, civil society, the private sector, and local and

national government, the CDA can and must be taken as the principal guide to

funding for development activities in the County. The projects and priorities identified

above are those which should be the principal targets for funding from the County

Development Fund, from donors and from local and international development

partners during the CDA implementation period.

3.2! Building Capacity

The low capacity of the County’s public and private institutions continues to be a

constraint on effectiveness and development in general. The combination over many

years of political patronage and conflict has left the County with high numbers of

unskilled workers with little technical or professional capacity to produce goods and

deliver services.

Over the implementation period of the CDA, agriculture and natural resource-based

sectors will drive growth, but their continued development will require a more capable

work force. As security conditions and basic services improve, members of the

Diaspora may return and inject capacity within certain sectors, but the Government

and the County must proactively take steps to increase capacity through strategic

interventions, including vocational training and adult education.

The first hurdle in dealing with this lack of capacity is identifying personnel that are

capable of addressing the problems. The Civil Service Agency (CSA) and other

institutions which are trying to close the human capacity gap face the same

constraints and challenges as other ministries and agencies. To be successful,

qualified Liberians from across the Government must be recruited to engage in and

lead the process and maximize transfer of knowledge and skills through on-the-job

training. Donor and civil society assistance has and will continue to play a central role

in supporting this process. Reforming the civil service and building human capacity

across public institutions are components of a broader public sector reform process,

which will address structural and institutional inefficiencies.

There are no quick fixes. The Government will develop a 10-year capacity building

plan to organize national efforts and leverage support for Liberia’s capacity

development programs. This plan, to be completed in 2009, will articulate well-

sequenced, strategic interventions to stimulate capacity development within the

private and public sectors and to reform the civil service.

3.3! Managing Potential Risks and Constraints

A number of risks and constraints could derail the implementation of the CDA and

frustrate the effort toward generating rapid, inclusive and sustainable growth. The

major ones include shortfalls in external financing, limited

leadership as well as administrative and technical

capacity, and external and internal instability. Although

these risks and constraints are real, the potential

consequences arising from them can be reduced

through their identification and the implementation of

mitigation strategies.

3.4! Monitoring and Evaluation

To ensure successful implementation of the CDA/PRS, a

transparent and effective monitoring and evaluation

system is required. While the County Development

Steering Committees (CDSCs) have a central role in

coordinating the CDA/PRS implementation, this forum,

chaired by Superintendent and comprised of all line

ministries and agencies as well as development partners

in the county, is responsible for tracking progress

towards CDA goals and objectives.

The Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) document

(Chapter 13) outlines the institutional framework and

reporting mechanisms for monitoring of PRS key output

and outcome indicators. This framework and the PRS

Monitoring and Evaluation Indicators (see hereafter) have

been developed through stakeholder consultations led

by the PRS M&E working group chaired by LISGIS and

LRDC Secretariat. To track progress and achievements

towards the targets set in the PRS, outcomes as well as

deliverables need to be monitored.

The baseline data have been generated for most of

indicators, drawing where possible on quantitative and qualitative surveys conducted

by LISGIS over the last year, including the Core Welfare Indicator Questionnaire

(CWIQ), the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) and Poverty Participatory Assessment

(PPA). In some instances where baselines are not yet available, ministries and

agencies will insure that those are being collected. Recently completed National

Population and Housing Census will further provide a rich socio-economic data set

disaggregated per county, district and even down to clan level.

Tapping Dormant Human Capital:

Changing Minds, Changing Attitudes

“In order to revitalize the economy, we ourselves have to

transform our view of what government is.” – Hon. Julia

Duncan Cassell, Superintendent, Grand Bassa County

Much of Liberia’s human capital sits idle as ca-

pable Liberians wait for someone – the Govern-

ment, NGOs, or others – to improve their lives.

A central thrust over the near term will be to

encourage citizens to trade their feelings of de-

pendency for a commitment to hard work and

self-reliance.

In March 2008, the President stated, “Govern-

ment can strive to create an enabling environ-

ment, to create the avenues for success. But it is

you who must seize these opportunities, you who

must put in the hard work to make our collective

dream a reality. You must not wait for the Gov-

ernment to make your life better, but rather work

to better your own life.”

Through labor-based public works, SME support

programs, work ethics lessons in the primary

school curriculum, and other means, the PRS

implementation period will stress the need for

active commitment and hard work to reduce

poverty. Poverty will only be reduced if the peo-

ple themselves play an active role in governance,

and in laboring to improve their own lives. In

this context, the Ministry of Information, Cul-

ture, and Tourism is pursuing an agenda it calls

“Changing Minds, Changing Attitudes”. Liberia

will only be as strong as the hearts, minds, and

working hands of its people.

Page 43: Gbarpolu County Development Agenda

Monitoring impact

At the national level LRDC Secretariat will be the key institution responsible for

Monitoring and Evaluation of the PRS. Together with LISGIS, responsible for national

statistics, the LRDC Secretariat will produce annual reports on progress towards each

of the indicators for review by the Pillars, the Cabinet and the LRDC Steering

Committee. The information will be published as part of Annual National PRS

Progress Report for public dissemination and discussion, including at the county level.

Further LRDC and LISGIS will issue a periodic report based on County-disaggregated

data emerging from line ministries and surveys conducted at national level. Along with

administrative data and statistics collected at the county level, it will insure that County

officials have quality data at their disposal, assisting with the CDA implementation.

Monitoring deliverables

Projects and programs under the PRS deliverables will be implemented at the county

level. County authorities will play an essential role in contributing to the regular reports

on PRS deliverables that will allow the Government and partners through Cabinet and

LRDC Steering Committee to make adjustment to programs and activities where

necessary.

The PRS took into account the county perspective and its development projects

emanate from the CDAs where possible. Therefore, when county authorities track

progress towards implementation of the CDA action matrixes (in Annex), they will at

the same time provide input into monitoring of the PRS deliverables.

Both for the PRS and CDA, program and project level M&E reporting will originate

from line ministry/agency representatives at the county level who will share their

reports with the Office of the County Superintendent in addition to their respective

ministries/agencies. These reports and information will be shared by the Office of the

County Superintendent at the county level, among others through the CDSC

meetings.

Strengthening the M&E Foundation

Over the implementation period for the PRS and CDA, the Government together with

partners are committed to strengthen and support monitoring and evaluation capacity

and institutional framework at the county level. The CDSC as the coordinating forum

for implementation of PRS/CDA at the county level is in process of being established.

County authorities capacity for information management and monitoring will be built,

based on on-going initiatives.

Together with County Acton Matrix developed through CDA process, PRS M&E

indicators provide the tool for monitoring at the county level. It will be accompanied

with detailed manual on what information and data that are required and how it will be

collected/compiled for tracking the progress towards these indicators and outputs.
