United Nations Cooperation Framework Liberia 2026-2030

The Government of Liberia and the United Nations System in Liberia 

jointly underscore their enduring
commitment to a renewed and transformative
partnership that places people at the center of
development. In its resolution 72/279 of 31 May
2018, the United Nations General Assembly created
a dedicated, impartial, independent, empowered,
and sustainable development-focused coordination
function for the United Nations Development
System (UNDS), through the UN Resident
Coordinator’s Office, to coordinate UN system-wide
policy coherence and programme implementation.
Together with this institutional framework,
the country’s sustained peace and democratic
consolidation create a unique opportunity to
translate these commitments into lasting impact.
In this context, the United Nations Cooperation
Framework (UNCF) 2026–2030 provides the
core partnership platform to advance inclusive,
sustainable, and accountable development in line
with national, regional, and global priorities.
This Cooperation Framework is fully aligned
with Liberia’ vision 2030, the five-year National
Development Plan, the ARREST Agenda for
Inclusive Development (AAID) 2025–2029, the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of United
Nation’s agenda 2030, the African Union’s Agenda
2063, the Doha Plan of Action 2022-2031, as well
as ECOWAS Vision 2050.It reflects a collective
aspiration to consolidate peace, strengthen
institutions, cross-border collaboration and
South-South cooperation, and unlock Liberia’s
human and economic potential, especially for
children, adolescents, youth, women, persons with
disabilities, and those most marginalized.
The UNCF (2026–2030) is the primary framework
steering the UN’s collective support to Liberia
towards achieving its national development
priorities. It is built on the principles of community based
development including through UN
regional hubs, partnerships, leaving no one
behind, participation, transparency, respect for
human rights, gender equality, disability inclusion,
resilience, sustainability, accountability, and the
pledge to ensure inclusive development for all.
Through three interlinked strategic priorities:
Human Capital Development, Good Governance
and Rule of Law, and Economic Development
and Sustainability, the UNCF is a roadmap for
action and is designed to yield demonstrable and
impactful outcomes and contribute to catalytic
measures for long-term transformation. In a spirit
of cooperation and collaboration, the Government
of Liberia and the United Nations System jointly
pledge their unwavering resolve to advance a
resilient, inclusive, and prosperous Liberia for
people in and of Liberia.
