AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Port & Trade Controls: Liberia’s rubber value chain stayed in the spotlight as a report highlighted how the country produces large volumes of rubber but still lacks local tire and large-scale rubber goods manufacturing, leaving consumers to rely on worn-out imports. Rubber Policy Tension: A prominent rubber broker renewed calls to abolish Executive Order 166, arguing it blocks export of unprocessed rubber and unfairly favors large concession companies over smallholder farmers and local brokers. Energy & Electrification: President Boakai switched on lights in Buchanan under the EU-funded Light Up South-East Liberia programme, with streetlights and new connections expanding electricity access ahead of Independence Day. Budget & Public Sector Planning: The Ministry of Finance launched the FY2027 budget process, urging ministries to end unplanned recurrent requests, while the Civil Service Agency announced annual manpower hearings tied to the FY2027 cycle. Security & Enforcement: Authorities announced the seizure of nearly four tonnes of cocaine valued at about $317m, describing an organized trafficking network and arrests of foreign nationals. Water & Health Needs: Residents of Weah Village appealed for safe drinking water, citing reliance on an unsafe creek, while Ganta United Methodist Hospital began building a modern lab and solar power plant to improve diagnostics. Governance & Justice: UNDP celebrated the graduation of a new cohort of magistrates, reinforcing support for Liberia’s justice system.
