AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Fishing & Food Security: Liberia’s government cut annual fishing licence fees for artisanal canoes, with paddle-powered operators now paying US$30 and motorized canoes up to 15hp paying US$175, a move fishermen say is already boosting registered canoes and catches. Local Budget Accountability: A Naymote assessment finds 93% of county budgets in 11 counties go to development, but only 44.38% match citizens’ County Development Agenda priorities—highlighting gaps between spending and local needs. Anti-Drug Leadership: President Boakai named retired Major General Daniel Dee Ziankahn as Director General of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency, signaling a tougher national security posture as scrutiny grows over alleged trafficking networks. Governance & Procurement Risks: The GAC flagged weaknesses in STAR-P, including missing audit committee oversight, non-competitive procurement, delayed projects, and an undelivered digital lending platform. Agriculture Inputs: EU-backed Seeds4Liberia handed over improved seeds, seedlings, fish fingerlings, and farm machinery to strengthen certified seed production and productivity. Border Tension Watch: At Sorlumba, Liberia and Guinea security forces held talks after a post dispute, with calm returning but the border crisis still unresolved. Natural Capital & Land Rights: CI Liberia pushes natural capital accounting (including a planned mangrove account), while a Karzah community in Lofa received a customary land deed covering 40,000+ hectares. Skills & Jobs: FIXAARS launched a digital marketplace linking verified tradespeople to households and businesses, aiming to turn vocational skills into income and small business growth. Maritime Safety: A Panama-flagged container ship linked to Liberia’s registered ownership was struck by a missile in the Gulf of Oman; crew reportedly abandoned ship and all 17 were accounted for.
