Following a competitive and rigorous evaluation process that included technical assessments, structured interviews, and comprehensive review and background checks on professional qualifications, experience, and character, conducted by both the Government of Liberia and the MCC, Mr. Nyei emerged as the most suitable candidate to lead Liberia’s compact development process.
The National Coordinator will play a central role in Liberia’s compact development process, supporting evidence-based policy analysis, and facilitating effective collaboration between national stakeholders and the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

Mr. Nyei has consulted with the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative (CABRI), where he coached reform teams in the Ministries of Finance of Liberia, Sierra Leone and The Gambia on locally identified public finance management problems using the Public Driven Iterative Adaptation Approach (PDIA). Since 2023, he has been a member of the International Advisory Group on Public Finance established by Overseas Development Institute (ODI) Global to support its development and public finance work.
Mr. Nyei holds an MPA in Economic Policy Management, specializing in Energy and Environment from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, USA and an MSc in International Finance and Economic Development (IFED) from the University of Reading, United Kingdom.
