Extent and Quality of Gender Stakeholder Involve­ment in NAP BHR Implementation Structures and Processes Here, too, the NAP BHR does not mention the role of or­ganised gender groups in its implementation arrangement. Neither are there specific references nor interventions to address the gender challenges in the NAP BHR. Again, there is no reference to women workers’ representation among the admittedly scant groups consulted for the de­velopment of the NAP BHR. We therefore rank the extent of organised labour gender group representation in the im­plementation of the NAP BHR as low . Extent of the Positive Impact of the NAP BHR on Policy, Legislation, International Convention Ratifi­cation, and Behavioural Change by Corporate Actors Given that the Nigerian NAP BHR is fairly new and no‘sig­nificant’ labour consultations were held during its drafting, it remains challenging to measure any real impacts at this time. We, however, recognise the efforts of various stake­holders to develop the NAP BHR and hope that, by the time this NAP BHR expires, significant impacts will be felt in the country regarding labour rights. We currently assess the impact of the Nigerian NAP BHR as low. Liberia Extent and Quality of Labour Stakeholder Consultation and Input During NAP BHR Development The NAP BHR of Liberia was developed by the National Steering Committee on Business and Human Rights to guide the implementation of the UNGPs in Liberia. The Ministry of Justice led the process of developing the NAP BHR, with the Ministry of Labour as the co-lead. The Inde­pendent National Commission on Human Rights(INCHR), CSOs, and the private sector were part of the process, with technical and financial support from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights(OHCHR). 49 Several consultations were held, including the following: → In November 2019, over 30 stakeholders, including gov ­ernment institutions, CSOs, the INCHR, and the busi­ness community, gathered in Ganta, Nimba County, to review and validate a draft road map and work plan for the NAP BHR. Participants also agreed to the conduct of a baseline assessment and nationwide consultations to raise awareness and collect inputs from locals and af­fected communities to be included in the NAP BHR. → In 2021, other consultations were held in Grand Bassa and Nimba Counties, where more than 100 participants, including representatives from relevant government in­stitutions, the National Commission on Disability, CSOs, the business community, youth groups, and women groups, participated. → In May 2022, a cross-section of more than 30 stakehold ­ers convened in Monrovia to build on the NAP BHR framework document previously developed during the 2019 and 2021 technical working retreats. This was facili ­tated by the Ministry of Justice, OHCHR, and a national consultant. 50 → In June 2022, the Ministry of Justice, with support from OHCHR, held a nationwide awareness and media out­reach initiative aimed at bolstering the knowledge and comprehension of citizens and residents regarding the development of the NAP BHR. The campaign covered three regions: the South-Eastern, Western, and Central Regions. However, the document does not specifically mention rep­resentation from organised labour on the steering commit­tee for the development of the NAP BHR. In an interview with an official of the Ministry of Justice of Liberia, he indi­cated that trade unions were consulted in drawing up the NAP BHR, but he could not immediately mention the trade unions that were consulted. 51 Our assessment of the extent of labour stakeholder consul­tation in the development of the NAP BHR can be as­sessed as medium . Despite insufficient consultation with organised labour, the role of the Ministry of Labour in pre­NAP BHR consultations suggests some incipient attempts to take labour concerns into account. Extent and Quality of Gender Stakeholder Consulta­tion and Input During NAP BHR Development The Liberia NAP BHR notes that between 2019 and 2022, several stakeholder consultations were held including rep­resentatives from relevant government institutions, the Na­tional Commission on Disability, CSOs, the business com­munity, youth groups, and women groups, among others. Our assessment of the extent of gender groups’ involve­ment in the development of the NAP BHR is ranked as me­dium , as there is some evidence of gender-focused consul­tations occurring prior to the development of the NAP BHR. 49 The Republic of Liberia.(2025).
