Starting in 2016, the Government of Liberia and partners have been implementing the Liberia Investment Case for Reproductive, Maternal, New-born, Child, and Adolescent Health, the country’s first GFF investment case. During the last quarter of 2020, the Ministry of Health will lead the process of reviewing and revising the RMNCAH Investment Case to set the strategic RMNCAH priorities for the next five-year period.

Through the Countdown to 2030 collaboration, the Ministry of Health has been working with the other partners to assess progress in achieving the result indicators outlined in the investment case and inform the development of the second investment case.
