Project Management Office

Introduction

To strengthen national government agricultural effort in Liberia, the African Methodist Episcopal
University (AMEU) sees it significant to develop a human resource development program in
agriculture to ensure men and women are equipped with agricultural education and innovative skills
for improvement in the huge market opportunities in the field of agriculture in Liberia. The AMEU
human capital enhancement program in agriculture will allow agriculture and agribusinesses to provide
opportunities to millions of young people entering the labor markets every year; and will prioritize
women participation and empowerment since they constitute close to seventy percent of the
agricultural workforce and are major contributors to food production.

Hence, establishing a project office will hasten all preparatory works needed, spearhead maintenance
of current infrastructure and keep key stakeholders focus of other activities on the main campus of the
AMEU.
