Youth unemployment is a critical concern worldwide, especially in post-conflict societies like Liberia, one of the poorest countries globally. The 14-year civil war disrupted public and private sector capacities, destroyed infrastructure, and left a generation ill-prepared for the labour market. Addressing the needs of youth—many of whom were both victims and participants in the war—is a key challenge for reconstruction. Employment creation and youth empowerment are essential to peace consolidation. This study, commissioned by Welthungerhilfe with partners under the German-funded “Reintegration and Recovery Program (RRP),” explores youth empowerment and employment in Grand Gedeh, River Gee, and Sinoe counties. It offers background for systematic youth employment promotion and provides insights for programme development in similar fragile contexts. The study applies a three-dimensional approach: enhancing labour supply (education, training, life skills), boosting labour demand (entrepreneurship, private sector development), and improving matching services (career guidance, information-sharing). Gender and OECD principles for fragile contexts are cross-cutting considerations. Data were collected using quantitative and qualitative methods: 101 expert interviews, 191 questionnaires, 16 focus groups, four round tables, and secondary data analysis. Findings show most youth work in vulnerable informal sectors like farming, petty trade, or mining. Education and training facilities are scarce and poor in quality, especially affecting young women. Youth organisations have strong potential but limited resources. Major challenges include infrastructure, transport, lack of financial services, and low agricultural productivity. Recommendations target education, vocational training, infrastructure, agriculture, entrepreneurship, financial access, and coordinated stakeholder cooperation to improve youth employment sustainably.
