Project Description
The project builds on the work of the first two phases to continue with
the reform agenda for Liberia. The overall goal is to improve the business
environment through strategic reforms. Specific objectives include: 1)
reducing the time required for business registration by 40 percent (by
June 2013); 2) attracting additional private sector investment in target
sectors by increasing the investment pipeline by 100 percent (within three
years of project completion); completing the regulatory and institutional
framework for development of a Special Economic Zone (within one year of
project completion); introducing at least five reforms and implementing at
least three Doing Business reforms (during the project); and 5) improving
the business environment for tax administration by easing tax compliance
time by 15 percent (within three years of project completion).
