Last updated: 11 October 2026
The National Social Protection Steering Committee met on 2 October 2026 and endorsed the draft National Social Protection Policy and Strategy 2026 to 2030, subject to corrections. Endorsement by the Committee is a step toward adoption and is not adoption. The policy will be submitted to Cabinet, and the proposed Social Protection Enabling Act to the Legislature.
The update was informed by consultations held in Monrovia from 15 to 18 September 2026 with informal sector representatives, line ministries, civil society and development partners, and by field research conducted in 10 counties between August and September 2026.
Summary materials reflecting the endorsed draft are published below: an executive summary, one-page briefs for the public, for Government and for development partners, and an abridged edition of the policy. The full Consolidated Policy Document will be republished on this page once the corrections directed by the Steering Committee have been applied. The September 2026 review draft is retained below for reference and is superseded.
The National Social Protection Policy and Strategy adopted in 2013 remains the published policy of the Government of Liberia and is available below.
