Continue strengthening and effectively implementing the legal and institutional framework to protect children from exploitation and child labor.

Ensure effective implementation of the five-year national development program aimed at improving living standards, with emphasis on social welfare and healthcare.

Increase support for school feeding programs and child welfare initiatives to enable more children to thrive.

Strengthen training and resources for community health workers to enhance access to essential health services.

We wish Liberia a successful review.
