The United Nations in Liberia is set to launch a new five-year
development framework, charting the country’s next steps in
peacebuilding and sustainable growth.
The disclosure was made during a Media Breakfast held in Monrovia to
commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the United Nations.
UN Resident Coordinator, Madam Christine Umutoni, said the new
framework, which runs from 2026 to 2030, highlights both Liberia’s
contributions to the world and the UN’s continued support to Liberia’s
development.
Madam Umutoni described Liberia’s journey with the United Nations as
one of mutual trust and partnership, noting that both have worked
together toward resolution, recovery, and reconciliation — from
peacekeeping operations to humanitarian assistance and beyond.
She also praised Liberia’s steady progress, noting that the economy
grew by 5.1% with a 5.8% projection in 2025, all of which are driven
by mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and services.
The Media Breakfast, held on October 15, set the stage for a series of
activities to be jointly organized by the Government of Liberia and
the United Nations throughout the month in observance of the UN’s 80th
Anniversary.
This year’s celebration is being held under the theme “One Liberia,
One UN, One Future: 80 Years of Partnership and Progress.”
