Most Recent Projects
EXCEL PROJECT VACANCIES ANNOUNCEMENT
The Government of Liberia has signed financing agreements with the International
Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank Group for the implementation of the
Excellence in Learning in Liberia (EXCEL) Project. The project is co-financed through a
Grant from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and a concessional loan/credit from
IDA.
The Project will support the Government in implementing a defined strategy to improve
foundational learning and access in public primary schools and to strengthen the education
system in Liberia. To do this, the project will use a combination of investment project
financing (IPF) and results-based financing (RBF).
The project’s development objective (PDO) is to improve foundational learning and access in
public primary schools and to strengthen the education system.
The EXCEL Project is a five-year project, supported by the World Bank and GPE, which aims
to drastically reduce learning poverty by improving foundational literacy and numeracy for
students in kindergarten 2 (KG-2) through Grade 6. Current gaps include a severe shortage of
high-quality textbooks and a lack of structured, evidence-based pedagogical tools, resulting in
low proficiency levels. This assignment will contribute to addressing these challenges by
developing English Language Arts (ELA) Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) that align
with the recently updated curriculum standards and the Global Proficiency Framework (GPF),
ensuring that all outputs are pedagogically sound, culturally relevant, and foster mastery of
core literacy skills.
Draft Grievance Manual for the Excellence in Learning in Liberia Project (P181455).
The Ministry of Education (MoE) is pleased to disclose the Grievance Manual for the Excellence in Learning (EXCEL) Project.
This Manual provides the institutional, procedural, and operational framework for receiving, registering, assessing, resolving, and monitoring grievances arising from project implementation. It establishes a survivor centered protocol for Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) and Sexual Harassment (SH) complaints, ensures confidentiality and referral pathways, and sets out the mandatory 24 hour reporting requirement for all SEA/SH cases to the World Bank.
By publishing this Manual, the MoE reaffirms its commitment to transparency, accountability, and safeguarding the rights of students, teachers, parents, and communities across Liberia. The Grievance Mechanism is designed to strengthen trust, improve service delivery oversight, and contribute to the broader objectives of the Education Sector Plan 2022–2027.
EQUITABLE FUNDING Policy FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND PRIMARY EDUCATION
The Ministry of Education is pleased to announce the publication of the Equitable Funding Policy for Early Childhood and Primary Education, finalized in June 2026. Developed with support from the Global Partnership for Education and the World Bank Group, this policy establishes a transparent, predictable framework for financing public early childhood and primary education through a per-student model that links resource allocation directly to learner needs and school contexts.
The Equitable Funding Policy reflects Liberia’s national commitment to evidence-based, transparent, and equitable financing. It ensures that schools serving disadvantaged communities, including those in remote rural areas, communities facing concentrated poverty, and children with disabilities, receive targeted support to dismantle barriers to participation and improve learning outcomes. Aligned with Liberia’s ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development, the Education Reform Act, and the Education Sector Plan, this policy represents a practical instrument for systemic change, ensuring that every Liberian child has a fair opportunity to learn, thrive, and contribute meaningfully to our nation’s future.
The full policy document is now available on the Ministry of Education’s website:
We extend our gratitude to all stakeholders, technical teams, and development partners whose collaborative efforts shaped this important reform.
