RECOVERY OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY FOR LIBERIAN INFORMAL SECTOR EMPLOYMENT (REALISE) PROJECT Capitol Bye Pass, Old Maternity Center, 1st Floor Monrovia-Liberia REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (REOI) – LOCAL HIRE REFERENCE NO: LR-MOGCSP-517553-CS-INDV PROJECT ID: (P174417) BACKGROUND Social Protection is defined “as a package of policies and programs, implemented as part of public action, that provide income or consumption transfers to the poorest, protect the most vulnerable against livelihood risks, and improve access to economic opportunities, to reduce food insecurity and deprivation, while increasing resilience of vulnerable households and groups to shocks”.
It has been recognized in the 2030 Agenda as a standalone target (under SDG 1) and across all SDGs through the Leave No One Behind principle.
Social Protection (SP) investments include wider and sustainable expansion in access to the four minimum guarantees: i) access to essential health care, ii) basic income and food security for the whole family-especially children in the family environment (including vulnerable groups and people with disability), iii) providing some form of basic income for the working age population through pre-employment support and household enterprises for adolescents and young adults, expansion in the national social pension scheme, enforcement of the Decent Work Act and iv) social grants for the elderly, pregnant women, and people living with disability.
In line with the National Agenda for Inclusive Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this policy and strategy will endeavor to eradicate poverty and limit the impacts of shocks. Liberia’s current National Social Protection Policy (NSPP) and Strategy, which was developed and approved by the Government in 2013, needs to be updated to reflect current realities and emerging priorities in the SP sector.
Full description

Review relevant global, regional, and national trends in adaptive, shock-responsive, anticipatory, and climate-sensitive SP systems. Analyze the existing institutional, human, financial, and material resources available (both at central and local level) for the delivery of SP schemes/interventions in comparison to the requirements for achieving the objectives of the NSPPS.
Based on the analysis and consultations outlined above, draft an updated SP policy and strategy document for approval by the Government of Liberia. Develop the Strategic Result Framework for the National Social Protection Policy, which will guide its implementation, monitoring, and reporting, including social accountability systems.
Hold validation meetings on the draft NSPPS with key stakeholders and support the MGCSP in finalizing the document and getting it approved via appropriate channels (e.g., Cabinet-level clearance).
