In 1997, With The Abuja Agreement Signed In 1996, The Civil War That Had Been Raging In Liberia Since 1990 Had Come To An End. This Followed With The Accreditation Of Aha, March 1997, By The Government Of Liberia, To Operate As An International Ngo To Carry Out Rehabilitation Works On Damages Of Health Infrastructures And Purchases Of Medical Equipment. In April Of That Same Year, Aha Sent An Assessment Mission Into The Country.
Subsequently, Aha Developed Two Projects That Were To Be Implemented In Maryland County Targeting Liberian Returnees. These Projects Covered The Needs Of 70,000 People And Catered For 80,000 Sierra Leonian Refugees And Host Communities In Upper Lofa County.
Both These Projects Were To Be Implemented In 1998. This Same Year, Aha Undertook A Short Exploratory Mission To Monorovia And Launched An In-Depth Need Assessment. Unfortunately Though, Due To The Lack Of The Needed Funding, The Envisaged Projects In Maryland And Upper Lofa Counties Had To Be Scaled Down. The Funds Received Were Earmarked For The Lofa County Project And Thus The Project Providing Post Emergency Rehabilitation Packages – Shelter Materials, Agricultural Tools And Seeds - To Some 2000 Heads Of Households Among Sierra Leonian Refugees Over A Three-Month Period. This Project Was Developed And Implemented In Collaboration With The Liberian Red Cross Society (Lrcs).
The Program Was Interrupted For A Period Of Time, Until It Re-Started In May 2004. Once Aha Began Its Operations Again, It Started In The Grand Cape Mount County, Gbarpulo County And Bomi County. This Time The Focus Was On Preventative & Curative Health Care Services, Rehabilitation Of Health Infrastructures, Family Planning, Hiv/Aids/Stds Awareness, Medical Screening And Escort Of Repatriates And Local Capacity Development. By 2005, Aha Had Finished The Second Phase Of The Reconstruction Program Where It Rehabilitated And Reconstructed 14 Health Structures (2 Health Centres And 12 Clinics).
In 2006, Aha Began The Sgbv And Water, Sanitation And Environment Program Where As To Ensure The Affected Peoples Access To Safe Water And Sanitation Facilities, Promoting Good Personal And Environmental Hygiene And Facilitating Efficient Supply Lines. By 2007, Aha Had Reached 450,273 People Including Idps, Returnees, Locally Integrating Refugees And Local Communities. Services Provided Through The 34 Health Facilities, Based In Six Counties To Name Them: Grand Cape Mount, Bomi, Gbarpulo, Margibi, Montserado, Nimba And Rivercess.
Aha’s Work In Liberia Continued Up Until 2017, By Which Time That Year, It Focused On Transferring Services And Responsibility To The Host Country. During This Reporting Period, A Series Of Meetings Were Conducted To Facilitate Smooth Transition, Which Was Conducted In Different Phases – Training Of Staff, Adaptation Of Moh Guidelines, Transfer Of Resources And Medical Supplies. Aha Handed Over All The Resources In All Operation Sites To The Respective Line Ministries- Moh And Ministry Of Public Works- Before The End Of The Year.
