This report examines the state of forest law enforcement and governance in post-conflict Liberia and catalogues major issues in the implementation of forest sector reform. It asserts that failure to fully implement forest sector reform may put the livelihoods of communities at risk and undermine the implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy and any future Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the European Union (EU). It highlights that improvements in forest governance cannot come about without political will and the active participation of civil society actors, including local communities.
