Scaling-up Agroecology Approaches in Liberia

Global Food and Nutrition Security

This brief provides an overview of the Investing in Livelihood Resilience and Soil Health in ACP Countries (ILSA) programme in Liberia, funded by the European Union and implemented by IFAD.

The overall objective of ILSA is to improve farmers’ resilience and livelihoods through sustainable agricultural practices. The specific objective is to reduce land degradation and sustainably increase agricultural productivity through the promotion of soil fertility and water management practices.

The project will directly support 5,300 small-scale farmers, ensuring that 50 per cent of participation is by women and youth. Over 31,000 rural people are estimated to benefit indirectly.
