Liberia: Advancing Legislative and Policy Reforms on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights

SRHR has been identified as a priority within the reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) continuum in all 36 current Global Financing Facility (GFF) countries. As a result, SRHR has been prioritized in every investment case to date.

This brief aims to provide a review of the international, regional and national legal, policy, and institutional frameworks on SRHR in Liberia, with a focus on adolescent girls. It highlights current country-led actions to advance legislative and policy reforms on SRHR for adolescent girls and women of priority populations across the country investment cases. In addition, this brief supports the operationalization of the GFF Roadmap for Advancing Gender Equality. The primary audience for this brief is the GFF national multistakeholder platforms, liaison officers, GFF Secretariat focal points, and World Bank task-teams involved in operations. This brief may also be useful to a broader scope of partners working on the interlinkages between gender equality, laws, and improved health outcomes to empower women and girls.
