The 14-years of civil conflict have left Liberia without basic political, social, and economic structures and systems; and poor governance has resulted in a rule of law which is virtually non-existent. Good governance is therefore considered key to re-establishing civil authority and rule of law. Promoting good governance in all its aspects: ensuring the rule of law, improving the efficiency and accountability of the public sector, and eliminating corrupt practices is essential to the achievement of sustainable development.
In partnership with, USAID, the European Union, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, African Development Bank, and other UN agencies, UNDP is supporting the new Government of Liberia (GOL) in its reform agenda. UNDP's Governance Programme endeavors to support Liberia in improving the management of its public resources, enhancing public sector accountability and transparency, and developing greater public awareness about the need for and requirements of good governance. The 2-pronged strategy, encompassing the political and economic dimensions of governance, contributes to the on-going post-war national reconstruction and development efforts in Liberia.
