rehabilitation of addicts, to build up participatory adolescent health programs that focus in particular on reproductive health rights and substance abuse. The Committee appreciates the reconstruction of health facilities across the country as part of post war recovery and rehabilitation programs. But there are indications that many communities still lack access to basic health services particularly in rural areas. The Committee suggests for improved efforts to advance access to basic health care services for all children and pregnant women, particularly in rural by ensuring that primary health care system covers the whole country; The Committee commends the State Party for the establishment the National AIDS Commission, chaired by the President and the State party’s measures to increase the coverage and access to HIV testing clinics and the provision of anti-retroviral (ARVs) to pregnant women and children born to mothers with HIV. But, there is a concern on the uneven distribution of HIV testing, and ARVs to all children, teenagers, and pregnant women. Hence, the State Party should increase the comprehensive HIV informationeducation campaign; make stronger its efforts to ensure proper coverage of HIV testing and ARVs provision by giving a particular attention to pregnant adolescents in rural areas and children born to mothers with HIV, and seek technical assistance from the concerned International Organizations and CSOs.

Hence, the government of Liberia should take measure to ensure the necessary budget is allocated to primary education; and increase the availability of schools at all levels in particular in rural areas in order to ensure equal access to education to all children.

The Committee recommends the State Party to monitor and enforce the free-of charge 10
