Country Level Evaluation Liberia : Final Report ; Volume 1: Main Report

This report presents the findings of the 2010 Country Level Evaluation of EC support to the Republic of Liberia. The evaluation was carried out to provide meaningful feedback to the European Commission and to the general public on the Commission's achievements in its cooperation with Liberia between 1999 and 2008. Lessons from this evaluation are meant to be used to inform the EC's current and future support to Liberia and other countries. The evaluation covered the EC's cooperation with Liberia during times of violent conflict in the county, i.e., from 2000 until 2003 but also the time after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2003 in Accra and the first national elections after the war in 2005. The evaluators considered EC assistance during the periods of the EDF8 and 9 (from a variety of instruments), but also considered choices made by the EC to disburse aid under the EDF10. This report is covering the different sectors the EC supported in this period, including humanitarian aid and food security, support to disarm, demobilise, rehabilitate and reintegrate former fighters (DDRR), peace building, education and county development. Cutting across these sectors was the concern for gender and environmental issues.
