The objective
Digital transformation should reduce the distance between citizens and public services, lower the cost of doing business and make government transactions easier to trace. Liberia has already begun important work in telecommunications, cybersecurity, digital identification, digital skills and public-sector modernisation; the next step is to turn those foundations into services people use every day.
The Weah 2029 programme would build secure, interoperable and citizen-centred digital public infrastructure.
Programme direction
Priority services—business registration, tax, selected licences, government payments, public records and service applications—would progressively move to secure online channels while preserving assisted access for people who are not yet connected.
A trusted national digital identity framework, strong data-protection rules and cybersecurity standards are essential. Government systems should be designed to exchange data lawfully without forcing citizens to repeatedly submit the same information to different agencies.
Broadband expansion, shared infrastructure and competition should support better connectivity outside Monrovia. Digital-skills programmes should be linked to employment, entrepreneurship and government procurement opportunities so that young Liberian firms can build solutions rather than only consume imported technology.
What success should look like
More services completed online from start to finish, fewer queues and paper processes, better public payment records, stronger cybersecurity, wider connectivity and more Liberian technology firms participating in the digital economy.
