The United Sates plans to improve already existing bilateral and multilateral ties between Liberia and America, U.S. Ambassador Deborah R. Malac affirmed at a press conference here Tuesday.
“My goal over the next three years is to strengthen further the partnership between the United States and Liberia, and to build upon the progress made in recent years to achieve a jointly held goal of a brighter and more prosperous future for all Liberians,” Ms. Malac indicated.
As the largest single donor to Liberia, The U.S. government provides over US$200 million yearly to help build the Liberian government’s capacity, as well as narrow capacity gabs in several sectors in order to enhance governance delivery.
She said the renewed pledge to improve relations and partnership with Liberia “includes enhancing peace and security, increasing economic growth, strengthening democracy and governance to improve lives of the people.”
“Our programs are developed in partnership with the Liberian government and implemented through NGOs and institutions” she pointed out.
Concerning direct impacts of U.S. assistance on Liberias, Ambassador Malac said such programs are helping to reduce poverty in the country; improve education opportunities, especially for girls, as well as strengthening health, agriculture, security, and public financial management sectors.
“The United States has had a unique, close relationship with Liberia throughout its history. This relationship will not change whatever the outcome of next week’s presidential election,” she assured.
