Incentivising School Enrolment and Retention in Liberia through Social Impact Incentives
Of the five million people in Liberia, nearly 40% were estimated to be under the age of 15 years in 2020, and an additional 483,000 children and youth are expected to enter the education system by 2030 (Ministry of Education, 2022). Given that a large proportion of the population is young, education provision is one of the Liberian government’s key priorities. Liberia offers free basic education (Grades 1–9) through the Children’s Law of 2011 (Republic of Liberia, 2011); however, challenges such as low enrolment, overage enrolment, inadequate education quality and poor learning outcomes persist.
