This initiative aims to provide the public with comprehensive information about services offered at the Ministry, enhance the relationship between the Ministry, the citizens of Liberia, and the international community, and strengthen accountability within the Ministry's operations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs plays a crucial role in safeguarding Liberia's interests on the global stage. It is responsible for managing the country's diplomatic relations, advancing its economic, political, and social interests abroad, and providing consular services to Liberians living overseas, as well as facilitating foreign nationals wishing to visit Liberia. The Service Delivery Charter is a strategic tool aimed at improving the quality, accessibility, and responsiveness of these essential services. This move aligns with the directives of His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia, who was inaugurated on January 22, 2024, under the ARREST AGENDA for Inclusive Development (AAID). As part of his government's commitment to improving service delivery, the President mandated that all government institutions sign performance contracts to ensure the efficient and transparent provision of services. In line with this, H.E. Sara Beysolow Nyanti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, signed a performance contract with the President on October 21, 2024. The contract outlines key performance targets for the Ministry, including the development and publication of the Service Delivery Charter and improvements in the Passport&Visas Division to enhance efficiency and credibility. The SDC will: Ensure Information Sharing: Provide clear, accessible, and accurate information on the services offered by the Ministry. Establish Clear Service Commitments: Strengthen the relationship between the Ministry, Liberians, and the international community by setting expectations for service delivery. Guide Quality Service Delivery: Facilitate high-quality, accessible, and timely services in line with international best practices. Enhance Professional Development: Promote the growth and capacity building of Ministry staff. Strengthen Internal Controls: Establish clear structures and systems to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency in operations. The SDC is vital for building trust between the government and the public by ensuring that services are delivered in an accountable, transparent, and efficient manner. It will apply to all units, divisions, bureaus, and departments within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including the Home Office and Foreign Missions, which collectively manage Liberia's diplomatic relations worldwide. The Ministry operates through various departments, including the Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Legal Affairs, and Department of International Cooperation&Economic Integration, alongside bureaus, divisions, and specialized units such as the Division of Passport&Visas and the Travel Unit. Foreign Minister Nyanti expressed her commitment to delivering a service-oriented Ministry: "The launch of this Service Delivery Charter is a pivotal moment for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are strengthening our accountability and ensuring that we meet the expectations of the Liberian people and our international partners. This initiative will allow us to serve the citizens of Liberia and our foreign counterparts more effectively and transparently." This new initiative supports the Ministry's overarching vision to represent Liberia's external interests, safeguard the nation's sovereignty, and promote unity and peace both domestically and internationally. As Liberia continues to engage with the global community, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will remain committed to excellence in service delivery, ensuring the country's strategic goals are achieved in a transparent, accountable, and timely manner.

New Report: Institutional and Policy Reforms Needed to Boost Economic Growth and Development in Liberia
The World Bank today launched its flagship report, the Liberia Country Economic Memorandum, titled 'Escaping the Natural Resource Trap: Pathways to Sustainable Growth and Economic Diversification in Liberia.' This report provides an in-depth analysis of Liberia's economic outlook and examines on how the country's vulnerability to external shocks has influenced its sustainable growth and development. Its insights can help to inform strong delivery on the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID). Liberia's faces the challenge of a 'natural resource trap' whereby a narrow, commodity-based development model has led to repeated cycles of stagnation and recovery. The country remains vulnerable to shocks due to weak drivers of long-term prosperity, such as human capital, wealth accumulation, and productivity, which has undermined the country's economic growth potential. The study finds that a "business-as-usual" scenario would yield modest growth, insufficient for achieving middle-income status by 2030 and substantially reducing poverty. Real per capita GDP will grow modestly, and Liberia will not reach the middle-income threshold of US$1,000 until around 2050. ' Institutional and policy reforms are essential to modernize the public sector and provide Liberia with the institutions needed to lead the transformation,' said Georgia Wallen, World Bank Liberia Country Manager. 'In line with the ambitions of the AAID, these reforms would entail a systemic overhaul of the business climate to promote private investment, innovation and job creation; delivery of higher quality, more efficient core public services to raise the level of human capital, notably in education and health; and increasing the efficiency and scale of public investments in power, roads and telecoms/digitalization.' The report suggests that Liberia should undergo five significant transformations to create the necessary conditions for long-term development that can foster economic expansion, employment creation, and poverty alleviation for Liberians. These transformations involve fundamentally reshaping Liberia's macro-economy; shifting away from over-reliance on the mining sector towards activities better aligned with the labor demands and employment needs of an expanding urban population; transitioning from a state-centric mindset to recognizing the private sector as the primary driver of economic expansion and job creation; and implementing deep-seated policy and institutional reforms to modernize the public sector. The report further highlights Liberia's potential for better performance and outcomes over the medium to long-term provided ambitious and credible reforms are implemented now to begin transforming the economy, modernizing the public sector, and improving governance. A high-ambition reform program could double annual productivity growth in the non-mining sector. These reforms involve improvements in education and health metrics by extending the expected years of schooling from 4 to 10 years, enhancing education quality, reducing stunting, and increasing adult survival rates. It also entails efficiency of public services. Additionally, reforms that support increases in private and public investments, reaching 18 percent and 12 percent of GDP respectively, could drive real GDP growth up by approximately one percentage point. As a result, Liberia could attain lower middle-income status before 2040, create jobs, and real per capita GDP potentially reaching US$2,000 by 2050.
