MONROVIA – The U.S. Agency for International Development in Liberia (USAID) and the Government of Liberia have officially announced the launch of the Local Health Solutions (LHS) activity, a five-year initiative aimed at strengthening Liberia’s health system.
Dr. Louise M. Kpoto, Minister of Health, and U.S. Ambassador to Liberia, Mark Toner, presided over the event, which was held at the Ministry of Health.
The LHS Activity is designed to improve the delivery of affordable, equitable, and high-quality health care services by fostering local leadership and supporting local organizations to take the lead in health systems strengthening. It will also focus on promoting inclusive governance structures, strengthening supply chain management, enhancing data use, and improving the quality of services, including maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health; malaria services; and laboratory and disease surveillance systems.
USAID, in partnership with Management Sciences for Health (MSH), will work across all 15 counties in Liberia with the MSH serving as the lead implementing partner working with four local organizations— all of which are women-led.
These partners include Africabio, Community Health Initiative (CHI), Medical Emergency and Relief Cooperative International (MERCI), and Public Health Initiative Liberia (PHIL).
“This initiative goes beyond healthcare—it’s about building resilience and ensuring that communities have the leadership and tools they need to thrive,” said Ambassador Toner. “The United States is proud to work alongside Liberia to improve the quality of health for all, particularly in the most underserved areas.”
The LHS Activity is part of USAID’s ongoing collaboration with the Liberian government to improve the health and well-being of the population.
