Monrovia, Liberia – February 12, 2026— A renewed sense of purpose filled the room as representatives from government, civil society, and the international community gathered for the launch of the Governance and Anti-Corruption Fellowship (GAF)—a groundbreaking initiative designed to strengthen ethical leadership and deepen governance reforms across Liberia. Liberia is advancing its ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID 2025–2029), placing transparency, accountability, and citizen-centered governance at the core of national development. It offers a practical pathway to strengthen governance and embed integrity at the very heart of public institutions.”— Mr. Dia remarked. “Governance reforms must move beyond policy commitments to become lived realities for citizens across Liberia.”The fellowship is designed as a two-year capacity-building and professional development programme. “This initiative marks an important step in strengthening democratic governance, accountability, and public trust in Liberia,” Ms. Cisse noted.
