ZWEDRU, Grand Gedeh County — The Grand Gedeh County Gender Office has received a consignment of office equipment and furniture from the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to boost institutional capacity and improve its response to gender-based violence (GBV).
Presented on Thursday, November 12, 2026, in Zwedru, the donation was delivered under Component Four of the World Bank-funded Liberia Women Empowerment Project (LWEP), which focuses on strengthening public institutions that advance gender equality and deliver services to women, girls, and vulnerable populations.
The consignment includes a laptop computer, a printer, printer cartridges, a semi-executive office desk and chair, and three standing fans. The items are expected to improve working conditions, streamline administrative operations, and support the coordination of gender-related programs across the county.
Speaking to journalists during the handover ceremony, LWEP Procurement Specialist J. Roger Kannioh Sr. said the intervention is designed to equip county-level offices to carry out their mandates more effectively. He urged staff to properly care for and maintain the items, noting that the Ministry will conduct periodic monitoring and inspections to ensure the equipment is used strictly for its intended purpose.
Receiving the donation, Grand Gedeh County Gender Coordinator [Verify Name] thanked the Ministry and the Government of Liberia for the timely support. The Coordinator noted that access to basic office logistics is critical to operational efficiency, particularly in rural counties where resource constraints can hinder public service delivery.
The Gender Office also reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with women’s groups, community-based organizations, and development partners to advance women’s empowerment, prevent and respond to GBV, and expand access to social protection services across Grand Gedeh County.
