MONROVIA – The Liberian Government delegation attending this year’s International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group Springs Meetings in Washington D.C. is seeking support for the implementation of the ‘Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development’ (PADP), the government’s national development agenda for the next few years of its term in office. According to information, support to water and sewer will focus on providing new pipes for the Pipeline Water Plant. On the public financial management side, more support will go to setting up of an E-tax policy and system, e-procurement, capacity development amongst others. The government’s first opportunity came when it signed a US$3 million grant agreement with the World Bank. The Ministry of Gender and Social Protection is finalizing arrangement with the World Bank for support through cash transfer to vulnerable women in four poverty-distressed counties.
