Description

believe, and I am sure you agreed with me, that as Liberia transitions from a period of acrimony; during the dark period of its history, into the dawn of a new democracy, there is an ever increasing role, duty and responsibility for proficiency marked by accountability, transparency and professionalism and participation in the discharge of public duties. In an effort to building national capacity in response to meeting the growing challenges of the 21st century requiring strategic policy decisions and actions, the concerted effort of all is required. Our world and society are plagued by a number of uncertainties requiring competitive policy actions in areas such as Poverty Reduction, Market Failures, Corruption, Climate Change and Environmental Protection, National Security and Human Rights, Foreign Policy Options, Social Inequalities, Health Care, Building Responsive Educational System, Building New and Emerging Market/Investment Industries, Rebuilding New Infrastructures and Energy Shifts, etc.

Hence, if Liberia must muscle up the courage and build the capacity to respond to the critical challenges of the 21st century, we must work together to build the resilience and action for change. And so, I wish to provide this policy guidance note to help national and local government policy makers in the discharge of their duties.
