UN Liberia Newsletter Quarter 1 2024

In the last quarter of 2023, we celebrated the deepening democracy in Liberia through the peaceful conduct of the 2023 Presidential and Legislative Elections. Now, the next phase of Liberia’s democratic journey is crucial for nation building, cohesion, and sustainable development national development planning. 

The Government of Liberia is leading a consultative process to design a new national plan and sub-national plans, and the UN in Liberia is delighted to partner in this process in a multi-disciplinary approach. 

We reaffirm our collective commitment to work along with government as the driver, as well as development partners to foster sustainable development, transformation and prosperity for all Liberians. 

Fellow colleagues and UN staff, we have a journey to support the SDGs acceleration in Liberia. But I am confident that our dedication to advancing the SDGs and the core values of the United Nations will yield notable returns.

During this quarter, along with partners, we celebrated International Women’s Day and highlighted women entrepreneurs and their remarkable achievements and products. 

We also joined partners in a massive cleanup campaign of Monrovia-something that we wish to continue in future. 

I conclude by extending my warmest gratitude to the Government and people of Liberia for our very strong collaboration in working towards achievement of the 2030 Agenda. Profound gratitude also goes to all our partners, including the development partners, civil society and private sector, amongst others.
