GENDER, YOUTH AND CHILDREN’S EMPOWERMENT  

BIRD-Liberia is strongly committed to reducing and laying the groundwork for eliminating child poverty as one of its key feature of the Poverty Reduction Strategy. With an overall poverty rate of about 64%, children are at high risk of becoming the next generation of impoverished citizens unless substantive measures are taken to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. In order to transform this vicious cycle into a virtuous one, BIRD-Liberia recognizes that its poverty reduction efforts must have children at the core.
