UNDP Expression of interest-ACDP

UNDP and the Government of Liberia are currently implementing Accelerated community Development Project (ACDP) which aims to reduce poverty and growing inequalities between regions by providing rural communities with basic socioeconomic infrastructure including in some cases health and education facilities. The ACDP Liberia will mainly aim to reduce spatial (territorial) inequalities and transform the living conditions and environment of Liberians living in areas with little to no access to basic social and economic infrastructure and services.

• Rural Electrification - Off-grid solutions through renewable energy.
