Ambrose Forpoh
CSP Leader - Liberia
As Project Monitor for International Relief and Development (IRD) in Liberia, Ambrose Forpoh administers women’s empowerment and job training programs, with a particular focus on agricultural development for rural women.
While in the U.S., Ambrose worked with the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children, providing support to the organization’s job preparation and training programs.
After returning to Liberia, Ambrose implemented his follow-on project which empowered women through supporting and strengthening the establishment of small agro-businesses and subsequently an increase in food production and livelihoods. As a result of the project, 18 women from the Salayea District were trained in agricultural practices including planting techniques, harvesting, post-harvesting processing, marketing and basic bookkeeping methods. Based on the success of the project, IRD will look to incorporate Ambrose’s project approach in future programming.
