Mayor Koijee said Monrovia, being Liberia’s largest city as well as administrative financial and commercial center with a population of approximately 1.5 million people, is demographically undergoing rapid change toward being modernized. “Additionally, we have launched a clean city project dubbed, “Weah for Clean City,” a project that focuses on youth empowerment, health and sanitation through a participatory leadership approach with communities taking full ownership of cleaning the city to meet the quality of lives of our residents,” he said. Mayor Koijee said the city has partnered with national stakeholders, especially in addressing some of the major issues about waste management. He said the city government of Monrovia is determined to accomplish more, even though there are limited resources. It is a forum that explores how the United States can work with its allies, the private sector, civil society and multilateral institutions to tackle complex global challenges.
