“80 of the 126 promises are actively being pursued”: NAYMOTE

Monrovia, Liberia: A new report by Naymote Partners for Democratic Development reveals that 64% of President Boakai’s 126 campaign promises are currently being implemented less than two years into his administration. The findings, part of the BoakaiMeter 2025, track progress across several sectors, including agriculture, health, and macroeconomic development. The report highlights significant efforts toward fulfilling key promises, with 80 of the 126 commitments marked as ongoing. This evaluation is supported by international partners like the UNDP and Carter Center, aiming to ensure transparency and public accountability in Liberia’s government.

Key Points:

• Overall Promises Progress: 5 promises completed, 80 ongoing, 22 not started.

• Sectors with Strong Progress: Agriculture and Health show notable advancement.

• International Support: International partners back Naymote’s unbiased evaluation.

According to the BoakaiMeter 2025 report, 80 of the 126 promises are actively being pursued, while 5 have been completed, and 22 are yet to begin. This marks a significant effort by the Boakai administration to honor its pledges and deliver on a transformative agenda for Liberia. The report’s evaluation is endorsed by major international organizations, including the UNDP and the Carter Center, and is part of an ongoing effort to ensure transparency and accountability in the country’s governance.

• Sectors with Strong Progress:

• Agriculture: Boakai’s administration has focused heavily on revitalizing Liberia’s agriculture sector, with efforts to improve food security and create jobs for rural populations. New programs aimed at supporting smallholder farmers have been launched, alongside initiatives to modernize farming techniques and increase access to agricultural markets.

• Healthcare: Significant strides have been made in improving Liberia’s healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural and underserved areas. New health facilities are being constructed, and a national health insurance scheme is being expanded. Increased funding for medical supplies and the recruitment of healthcare workers have also been prioritized.

• Promises Still Pending: Some of the administration’s pledges, particularly in infrastructure development and macroeconomic stabilization, are still in the early stages of implementation. Challenges like funding constraints and logistical delays are cited as contributing factors to slower progress in these areas.

International Support:

The BoakaiMeter 2025 evaluation process is backed by international development partners such as the UNDP and the Carter Center, which provide technical and financial support. Their involvement ensures the report’s impartiality and accuracy, fostering a collaborative approach to ensuring that the Liberian government stays on track in delivering on its promises.

While 64% of President Boakai’s campaign promises are already in progress, the Naymote report underscores the importance of continued government focus and transparency. With many initiatives showing tangible results, the next phase of governance will be crucial for fulfilling the remaining promises and achieving the administration’s broader vision for Liberia’s future.
