The Mano River Union (MRU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are expected to hold a three-day Joint Sub-regional Action Plan meeting in Monrovia. UNDP and MRU share similar visions and have worked together on various missions and initiatives over the past years. The meeting, according to the statement, is a follow-up to the outcome of the first meeting held in Sierra Leone last year. On November 27, 2019, a signing ceremony of an MoU between MRU and UNDP was held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Freetown. The MoU, which is based on the core principles of the SDGs, is leading to stronger regional cooperation among the MRU Member States and UNDP.
