Ministers Tweah and Wilson were speaking when they met the U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission, Alyson Grunder, USAID Liberia Mission Director, Sara Walter, and other officials of USAID at the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia recently to discuss the USAID funded Liberia Economic Policy Dialogue Activity (LEPDA). The Minister of State without Portfolio, Trokon Kpui, who also attended the meeting, said it was particularly gratifying that USAID sought the inputs of the Government of Liberia (GOL) from the very conception and early stage design of LEPDA. During their meeting, GOL officials and their USAID counterparts discussed three focus areas for LEPDA as it works to achieve its overarching goal. During their meeting at the U.S. Embassy, GOL and USAID officials agreed that the GOL will take the lead in establishing an advisory committee within the GOL to serve as the principal liaison with USAID regarding the implementation of the LEPDA. The U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission, Alyson Grunder, said the United States remains committed to supporting Liberia’s development.
