FY 2023 Enhancing Domestic Capacity and Coordination to Advance Internationally Accepted Investment Standards
It is well documented that many investments in Africa, including in Liberia, fail to meet internationally accepted standards.
This trend continues in part because of host countries lack of awareness, capacity, and governance.
This project aims to address these weaknesses by bringing together government, civil society, journalists, academics, and other key stakeholders to build Liberia’s internal capacity to ensure further investments and projects have improved standards and mechanisms in place to monitor and penalize non-compliance.
The project will include components that offer stakeholders:
investment best global practices; case studies involving how to advance transparency in negotiating large investment deals in Africa; training/advising government officials on developing legal and regulatory investment frameworks; mentoring on public awareness campaigns around investment standards; and seminars in investigating investment-related challenges and successes in the African context.
Projects should target:
Countering lending and investment projects that fail to adhere to internationally accepted investment practices and as a result put at risk Liberia’s sovereignty, socio-economic well-being, and biodiversity.
