Descripción
I.1. The Government of Liberia recognizes the importance of the agricultural sector, not only as a source of food for the population, but also as the nucleus of its development and socio–economic sustainability. The present “Project for inland swamp rehabilitation and development” was prioritized during the preparation of the National Medium–Term Investment Programme in Agriculture and Rural Development, under the auspices of NEPAD and the technical support of FAO. Prior to the onset of the civi l war, some projects were implemented for swamp and aquaculture development, with support from various aid agencies. I.2. To prepare this profile, a field trip was conducted by the team to collect field data in the specified counties, to review the existing data, and to talk to farmers and NGOs in the respective communities. The team identified needs, extracted lessons learnt and tested development approaches and techniques related to swamp management.
