The Governance and Economic Management Assistance Program (GEMAP) was instituted in 2005 by the transitional government of Liberia and the international community to reshape the fundamentally broken system of governance that contributed to more than two decades of conflict in Liberia. Under GEMAP, the resources of Liberia were co-managed by Liberians and international partners. In view of the foregoing, it is becoming clear that Liberia could suffer another economic collapse, as was the case during the civil war, if the economy continues to deteriorate without the appropriate interventions to reverse the losses. It behooves all well-meaning Liberians to do their part to keep Liberia on a course of sustainable peace and progress. Williams is the author of the recently published book, Corruption is Destroying Africa: The Case of Liberia, which is currently available online.
