The FARA is a form of "cash-on-delivery" aid, whereby the government is reimbursed on completion and verification of a specified set of activities or outputs. Early feedback from implementation of the FARA in Liberia indicates the need for a high level of engagement between USAID staff and government counterparts, particularly in the initial stages. This poses "significant challenges for USAID/Liberia staffing and program management capabilities". However, contributing donors note that the work involved in co-ordinating, technical support and managing risk should not be under-estimated.
