For his part, Program Manager, Atty. Gerald D. Yeakula, outlined some of the program’s major achievements, pointing to its role in promoting integrity and fostering civic engagement. Team leads from various program components also presented updates on their respective interventions.
The visit, CENTAL noted, further cements the longstanding partnership between the institution and SIDA, while reaffirming their joint commitment to promoting good governance and the fight against corruption in Liberia. By: Alex Determine Juah
