There are governance deficits in Liberia which severely hamper delivery of public services. Persistent corruption and lack of accountability triggers low public confidence in the legitimacy of national governance. The quality and coverage of public services, especially on civil registry and vital statistics has not improved and in some areas economic conditions are deteriorating. The civil service continues to have huge challenges that are associated with weak payroll compliance, relatively low salaries, poor alignment between skills and functions. A Liberia government document noted key challenges of the civil service as belonging to three broad categories: i) Not regulated, ii) Low performance and wages; Mismatch between positions grade and remuneration and also lack of job descriptions

The Government of Liberia has adopted a coordinated approach to reporting under the human rights treaties which envisages the development of the CEDAW report in parallel with the other treaty reports and seeks to highlight the linkages between the treaties including the common provisions aiming at the elimination of discrimination against women in their enjoyment of all human rights. In this regard, UN Women strengthened the Government's existing reporting mechanism as per the treaty signed and is supporting the Government to develop the ninth and tenth CEDAW State Party reports for submission to the CEDAW committee. Furthermore, the capacities of the Human Rights divisions at the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, the Ministry of Justice, and focal points in different Line Ministries were enhanced, particularly in report writing and monitoring of Human Rights conventions with a focus on CEDAW.Disclaimer and notes
