The visit, which included cabinet ministers and ambassadors from the diplomatic corps, showcased Liberia’s progress and potential.
The delegation inspected projects such as the Fuamah Rice Production Field, the EU-funded Human Rights project at Margibi prison, and the groundbreaking Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Center at Booker Washington Institute. The latter, a cornerstone of the EU-funded Youth Rising initiative, is designed to equip young Liberians with essential skills for employment.
Foreign Minister Nyanti emphasized the importance of this firsthand experience for the diplomatic corps, stating, “Our goal is to encourage continued investment and collaboration by showcasing Liberia’s development plans and needs.”
Ambassador Beng’yela Augustine Gang, Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, commended Minister Nyanti’s leadership and the impact of the tour. He noted that the visit provided diplomats with a valuable understanding of Liberia’s rural realities.
The tour highlights Liberia’s commitment to sustainable development and the crucial role of international partnerships in achieving national goals. As the government moves forward with Phase Two of the Youth Rising project, expanding TVET centers nationwide, the country aims to build a skilled workforce and create a brighter future for its people.
