The Pro-Poor Agenda

The Pro-Poor Agenda is about the people, how to strengthen their capacity to thrive; and how to draw all Liberians living at home and abroad into the national development process.
Over the next five years, addressing the basic needs of Liberians for income security, better access to basic services, and greater opportunities for self-improvement in an enabling environment that is inclusive and stable will be at the core of the pro-poor agenda.

Welcome to the Coalition for Democratic Change- United States of America (CDC-USA)

The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC-USA) values the principles of democracy, and it’s norms, we remains deeply committed to the ideals of political participation, and tolerance for free speech. We pride ourselves as the historic birth of a people’s center grassroots political movement, championing a compassionate political philosophy that promotes a political culture for national healing and reconciliation, and embracing all Liberians towards the struggle for nation building, with human dignity and the rule of law.

Reaffirmation of the National Vision

The Pro-Poor Agenda is also about crafting a national identity
aligned to the Africa Agenda 2063 and the Economic Community
of West African States (ECOWAS) Vision 2020. What clearly
emerged from the national consultations on the future of Liberia
held in 2012 is that the tendency to bifurcate the Liberian identity
into an Americo-Liberian vs. Indigenes cleavage leaves the
“erroneous impression of two discreet communities” that need to
be reconciled for political, social, and economic, development to
take hold. But it is evident that the Liberian identity is a fusion of
values of multiple “largely patriarchal traditional societies”, different
tenets of faith, and the “influence of black settler culture”. Moreover,
new cleavages emerged out of the civil war—between the Diaspora
and those Liberians who remained at home, and between those who
were victimized and those who were the perpetrators of violence.
All these cleavages must be addressed for Liberia to go forward
successfully as a united people and a progressive nation.

THE PRO-POOR ADGENDA PILLARS

PILLAR ONE: POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Many years of civil crises undermined the advances made in human capital development in Liberia--ranging from hundreds of thousands of deaths to internal displacement and outmigration of skilled labor into the Diaspora. Going forward, human capital development in Liberia must cut across various social sectors and the Government of Liberia is the main duty bearer. It must also cut across gender with the exigency of addressing historic and systemic biases against women at home, in the marketplace, and in the political arena.

PILLAR TWO: THE ECONOMY AND JOBS

Under Pillar Two, the emphasis is on maintaining macroeconomic stability, building good infrastructure, and providing a businessfriendly environment that can stimulate private productive investments and create more and better-quality jobs that are important for sustaining the peace and to future economic growth. This pillar describes critical interventions that the Government will pursue in the macroeconomic space.

PILLAR THREE: SUSTAINING THE PEACE

Sustainable peace is essential to the achievement of all other objectives of the PAPD. Improvement in human capacity and the development of a knowledge economy, which aim to transfer “power to the people” under Pillar One, can only be achieved if initiatives are inclusive, non-discriminatory, and respectful of human rights and justice. Likewise, private sector-led growth under Pillar Two requires stability and an assurance that long-term investments can be protected. Building a capable state that governs effectively and transparently, under Pillar Four, requires accountability and reconciliation of political, social, and economic injustices

PILLAR FOUR: GOVERNANCE AND TRANSPARENCY

The interventions of Pillar Four directly support one of the two development goals of the PAPD--building a peaceful, stable, and inclusive nation. Achieving this goal is only possible through effective implementation of policies and strategies that will ensure the participation of the entire citizenry in decision making and empowers all groups–especially women, children, and people with special needs. The achievement of this goal hinges on both major forms of governance – political and economic.

Economy

As the situation stabilizes, our goal is to increase growth that is sustainable and inclusive. That means increasing the productivity of the agriculture sector and linking farmers to urban and regional markets through better roads and transportation infrastructure. It also means increasing access to clean and affordable electricity, particularly in rural areas, and digitizing our economy, especially through digital finance...Min Samuel Tweh CDC-USA Chairman Emeritus
