MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Naymote Partners for Democratic Development has released the President’s Meter Report 2025, reviewing Liberia’s first year of implementing the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID) across 378 interventions.
Naymote Executive Director, Eddie Jarwolo, said the findings reveal slow overall implementation, noting that only three interventions (0.8%) were fully completed in the first year, while 165 interventions (43.7%) showed some progress.
However, Director Jarwolo said 76 interventions (20.1%) have not started, and 134 interventions (35.4%) could not be assessed due to limited publicly available data.
He said Human Capital Development and Economic Transformation emerged as the weakest-performing pillars, due to underfunding, weak inter-ministerial coordination, and inadequate reporting mechanisms.
Director Jarwolo also noted that assessments of County Service Centers show that over 60% of essential government services remain unavailable outside Monrovia, reinforcing concerns that citizens in rural areas continue to face limited access to basic public services despite policy commitments to decentralization.
The Naymote boss disclosed, despite these challenges, the report documents notable gains, the establishment of the War and Economic Crimes Court office, biometric ID registration for more than 710,000 citizens, pilot e-procurement systems, legislative reforms, and targeted investments in agriculture, energy, and tourism.
Meanwhile, Naymote promised to promote accountability, transparency, and results-driven governance.
