The Liberian Government, in partnership with the World Bank, will today begin validating the recent Drafted Zoning Act for Liberia.

The draft law, when ratified, will promote well-organized land development and management in Liberia, to address the many zoning challenges in the country.

According to a release issued recently, it is also aimed at addressing the numerous tasks and limitations presented by the current Zoning Law of Liberia, which was enacted in 1958.

The draft legislation is a Worl Bank-financed Liberia Urban Resilience Project to address related flooding, climate risks, and urban management deficiencies through a forty-million US Dollar World Bank grant.

The Public Works Ministry is leading the implementation of the Liberia Urban Resilience Project with the support of various government ministries, agencies, and townships.
