The LRDC structure is composed of four Working Committees (WC) formed around the four pillars of Liberia’s reconstruction and development strategy.  The four committees are the Security Committee, Economic Revitalization, Governance and Rule of Law, and Infrastructure and Basic Services.  To ensure government leadership, each of the WCs is chaired by a GOL Minister in the respective pillar;

• Security (Chair: Defense Minister);
• Economic Revitalization (Chair: Finance Minister);
• Governance and the Rule of Law (Chair: Planning Minister):
• Infrastructure & Basic Services (Chair: Public Works Minister).
  

The WCs are co-chaired by identified sector partners and are composed of line ministries/agencies, commissions, UN Agencies, donors and key NGOs active within the area.  The WCs are responsible for coordination, monitoring, evaluation of projects and programs and regular reporting of progress. (see Figure 1)

A Steering Committee (SC) serves as the over-arching body of LRDC.  It is chaired by the President with membership comprised of key Ministers (especially the Chairs of the WC) and heads of major partner organizations (including regional partners). The SC provides overall direction, sets very specific goals for each group, and ensures that activities are consistent with the reconstruction and development strategy. The SC is supported by a Secretariat in the President’s Office. The National Coordinator of the Secretariat serves as the Secretary to the SC.

The Secretariat provides coordination, monitoring and evaluation, as the operational arm of the SC. Links between the SC and its technical level organs, the WCs as well as with other government institutions and development partners on LRDC matters are coordinated by the Secretariat.   In this regard, the Secretariat is headed by the National Coordinator, who reports directly to the President and the LRDC SC. The Office of the Secretariat is composed of an Energy Specialist, Senior Economic Advisor, a Program Assistant, and a Technical Assistant. There are also two other local support staff.

The WCs have developed standard meeting schedules and appointed duly capable Focal Points (FPs) to serve as coordinators and recorders for pillar activities.  (see Figure 2)

Besides coordinating the pillar meetings, developing meeting agendas, and distributing relevant meeting documents, one major task of the FPs pay close attention to the achievements and the challenges to progress and to provide monthly reports to the SC on pillar implementation of projects, substantive progress on concrete deliverables, and financial summaries.  Each FP will meet and coordinate on a continuing basis with the LRDC Secretariat.
