| Summary: | In February 2006, the government of
Liberia invited the World Bank Group to work with the
country to implement a comprehensive multiyear advisory
services program. The program is designed to support the
growth of a vibrant domestic private sector in Liberia that
can create employment, increase opportunities for growth,
attract partners, and provide services for quality
international investment. The private sector development
program in postconflict Liberia is being implemented by the
investment climate team for Africa on behalf of the World
Bank Group. The team is managed by the International Finance
Corporation (IFC) and draws staff and resources from across
the World Bank Group and development partners to help
governments in Africa achieve successful reform.
Underpinning the team's approach in Liberia is a
deliberate strategy to engage with the government and all
other key stakeholders, including civil society, the media,
and the private sector. In the case of Liberia, this is all
the more important, given the fine balance of power between
the ruling party and the opposition. This Smart Lesson is
intended to share the approach used by the team in Africa to
develop and implement a concerted stakeholder engagement effort. |
