Landscapes Liberia

For each landscape in Liberia, IDH engages a partner to develop a spatial development plan on county level. This high-level plan envisions the spatial development of a county in a sustainable and holistic way considering factors such as forests, agricultural spaces, and wildlife corridors. This should be a guideline for all future interventions or investments that influence the land use in the county. To work out this high-level plan, IDH engages a local partner to develop the Participatory Land Use Plan (PLUP) on district level, which is one administrative level lower than the county. As a result, the PLUP is more detailed and specific to district characteristics, taking into account water use, land cover by vegetation, cultural traditions, community facilities and market linkages.
