In Liberia, children continue to suffer the consequences of a 14-year civil war that displaced more than 800,000 people and decimated infrastructure and services. UNICEF and its partners continue to provide health care, education, protection, clean water and sanitation for thousands of children living in camps for internally displaced populations.

UNICEF supports the school’s Accelerated Learning Program (ALP), which condenses six years of primary schooling into three to enable children to make up for years lost to armed conflict.
