Decades of turmoil and civil conflict have had a crippling effect on Liberia’s agricultural sector, and increasingly rapid growth in youth migration to urban areas has led to high youth unemployment and urban poverty. Agriculture is the sector with the greatest potential to increase livelihoods and combat youth unemployment, which can also help to slow rapid urbanization rates. The objective of the project was to economically empower youth by promoting the creation of aquaculture enterprises for youth employment, poverty reduction and food security.
