Local Leadership Development in Liberia

2009 – 2013 — During the period from 2009 to 2013, UN-Habitat developed and delivered a series of training and capacity building programs to strengthen elected local leaders, city leaders and senior decision makers of central and local governments in Liberia. Comprehensive training needs assessments were carried out with all different target groups belonging to different levels of authority in public institutions which helped to design a demand-driven and focused training. UN-Habitat worked closely with UNDP and other local institutions in these workshops that trained hundreds of Liberians.
