Liberia has launched its third national plan on women, peace and security, presented by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai at the United Nations. Each commitment now has a responsible agency, an indicator, a baseline and a target, according to Minister Gbeme Horace-Kollie.

Liberian President Joseph Boakai launched Liberia’s third National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security in New York. The plan assigns each commitment to a responsible government agency and links it to an indicator, a baseline and a target, according to Liberia’s Minister of Gender, Gbeme Horace-Kollie.

Implementation of the plan will be overseen by a steering committee chaired by the Ministry of Gender. It will also include the ministries of Justice, Defence and Finance, to coordinate the actions set out in the plan.
