The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $6.2 million to increase the resilience of community-based livelihoods by strengthening community-based natural resource management in Liberia. This program will increase awareness around deforestation and climate change adaptation through the development of environmental education curricula for primary schools and the Forestry Training Institute. Increased awareness and education will be complemented by on-the-ground activities such as piloting agricultural adaptation methods; increasing incomes derived from sustainable use of forest resources; and supporting systems to protect valuable forest, soil, and water resources. Together, these efforts will help improve the quality of the national climate change policy dialogue and strengthen protection of Liberia's tropical forests.
