MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Liberia has presented several proposals to the UN Security Council (UNSC) for consideration.

The proposals include the establishment of a post conflict education digital recovery window within existing international financing mechanisms, and the development of a pallet network of solar-powered community digital hubs.

Liberia’s recommendations were delivered in a statement by the country’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Lewis Browne, at a recent Security Council Meeting in New York, the United States of America.

Ambassador Browne also called for a voluntary coalition of governments, technologists, and educators to design low-bandwidth offline-first learning systems for conflict environments.

He noted that digital learning infrastructure, including connectivity devices, teacher training, and child protection safeguards, must be embedded in early recovery frameworks and not treated as a secondary priority.

Ambassador Browne also called for support for the development of standardized safeguards for all artificial intelligence tools used in humanitarian and emergency settings.

Meanwhile, Ambassador Lewis Browne says Liberia stands as evidence that recovery is possible when the world invests early and wisely.

According to him, Liberia’s journey from hosting peacekeepers to contributing to peacekeeping was shaped by education anchored in opportunity.

Addressing a UN Security Council Briefing recently, Ambassador Browne noted that investing in digital education in fragile contexts reduces the pool from which armed groups recruit.

He said,” Such investment also strengthens girls’ autonomy and narrows the space in which harmful ideologies take root and builds communities that choose ballots over bullets”.

The Permanent Representative of Liberia to the UN also admonished world leaders to commit to funding digital recovery as an integral component of peacebuilding.
