Since the signature of the 2004 Peace Agreement, the ICRC has gradually adapted its activities to support the rehabilitation and rebuilding process in Liberia: from the direct assistance provided during the conflict, the ICRC has shifted its approach towards public services in terms of support and capacity building. It has concentrated on developing Liberian capacities in health, food security and water and sanitation (i.e. with adequate training, technical support and tools).

The ICRC is also particularly involved in the dissemination of international humanitarian law to the army, the police, and UN contingents as well as to private security companies.

The ICRC also supports the Liberia National Red Cross Society in carrying out preventive work targeting young people, and helps the organization build its capacity in tracing and disaster management.

Personnel (2008): 285, including 31 expatriates
