Liberia Takes Women, Peace and Security Leadership to the Global Stage

MONROVIA, LIBERIA — August 27, 2026: The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Hon. Gbeme Horace-Kollie, has reaffirmed Liberia’s commitment to global leadership on Women, Peace and Security, highlighting the country’s journey from conflict to becoming a recognized model of women-led peacebuilding.

Speaking Thursday at the Ministry of Information, Minister Horace-Kollie announced preparations for a high-level side event to be hosted by the Government of Liberia through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The event will be held under the theme: “From Pioneers to Global Leaders: Liberia’s Journey in Women, Peace and Security.”

She said Liberia’s role on the United Nations Security Council provides a historic opportunity to showcase the experience and leadership of Liberian women in peacebuilding.

“Liberia is not going to the Security Council simply to learn. We are going with knowledge, experience and solutions that the world can learn from.”

Minister Horace-Kollie recalled the decisive role Liberian women played in mobilizing communities and contributing to the end of the country’s civil conflict, noting that their leadership has positioned Liberia as an important example in the global Women, Peace and Security agenda.

The high-level event will bring together Liberia’s President, foreign ministers and senior representatives from several countries, as well as the African Union Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security and Liberia’s Peace Laureate, Leymah Gbowee.
The event will also be webcast from New York to Liberia.

Minister Horace-Kollie further announced that Liberia will launch its Third-Generation National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, building on the implementation of its first and second plans.

“We are taking Liberia’s story from the communities where women built peace to the global table where peace and security are discussed.

This is our history, our responsibility and our opportunity to lead.”

The Minister expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, partners and stakeholders for their collaboration, emphasizing that Liberia’s Security Council role is an opportunity to share its peacebuilding experience and help shape the global Women, Peace and Security agenda.

MGCSP Leads Social Protection Efforts Through REALISE Project Monitoring Tour

The Hon. Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Hon. Gbeme Horace Kollie, has joined members of the REALISE Project Steering Committee on a monitoring tour to Nimba County, underscoring the Government’s commitment to strengthening social protection and improving the livelihoods of vulnerable and marginalized communities across Liberia.

The tour forms part of the Steering Committee’s ongoing field assessment, which will take the team to Nimba, B**g, Grand Bassa, and Rivercess Counties to assess project implementation, visit project sites, and engage directly with beneficiaries to better understand the impact of the REALISE Project.

As Chairperson of the National Social Protection Steering Committee and a member of the REALISE Project Steering Committee, Minister Kollie continues to play a critical leadership role in advancing Liberia’s social protection agenda.

Through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, social protection interventions are being strengthened to ensure that vulnerable households and communities are better supported with opportunities that promote resilience, economic inclusion, and improved living conditions.

The REALISE Project provides an important platform for translating Liberia’s social protection priorities into tangible support for communities. The Ministry’s engagement in the project helps strengthen coordination, accountability, beneficiary engagement, and alignment with the Government’s broader social protection objectives.

The field tour also provides an opportunity for the Ministry and its partners to hear directly from beneficiaries, identify implementation gaps, document progress, and ensure that project interventions respond effectively to the needs of communities.

Minister Kollie’s participation therefore reflects the Ministry’s commitment to people-centered social protection, inclusive development, and stronger coordination of programs designed to reduce vulnerability and improve household resilience.

Through continued monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration with development partners, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection remains committed to ensuring that social protection investments deliver meaningful and sustainable impact for vulnerable Liberians.

The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP), through the Liberia Women Empowerment Project, continues to advance the Government of Liberia’s commitment to strengthening protection and essential support services for women, children, and survivors of gender-based violence (GBV).

As part of this effort, the Ministry is conducting a four-day integrated capacity-building training for 40 frontline service providers, comprising 26 women and 14 men from Bomi, Gbarpolu, and Grand Cape Mount Counties.

The training brings together healthcare workers, Women and Children Protection Officers, and social workers to strengthen their capacity in GBV prevention and response, sexual and reproductive health and rights, psychological first aid, psychosocial support, and safe and survivor-centred referral mechanisms.

Through a combination of technical presentations, participatory discussions, and practical sessions, the Ministry is equipping frontline actors with the knowledge, skills, and tools required to deliver coordinated, timely, confidential, and survivor-centred services.

The initiative forms part of MGCSP’s broader efforts to strengthen community-level protection systems and improve access to quality services for women and girls, particularly survivors of violence and other forms of abuse.

The Government of Liberia, through MGCSP, remains committed to strengthening institutional and community-based mechanisms that uphold the dignity, rights, safety, and well-being of women, children, and vulnerable populations across the country.
