The meeting focused on critical operational and leadership issues that pose a threat to the growth, credibility, and sustained impact of the organization in Liberia.

Mr. Senghore underscored that Plan International Liberia is undergoing a period of significant transition, marked by major changes in its leadership and operational structure, and a rapidly evolving funding landscape. This comes at a time when the Country Office is expected to deliver timely and quality results on two mega grant portfolios.
He noted that the Country Office is currently leading the implementation of a US$36.6 million World Bank-funded Liberia Women Empowerment Project (LWEP) grant, while also serving as Principal Recipient for the Global Fund GC7 HIV/TB, Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH) and C-19 Health System Strengthening grants.

According to the Regional Director, persistent challenges in delivery had necessitated strategic intervention from the WACA Regional Hub, including the deployment of a significant number of experienced Plan International staff to Liberia to provide hands-on support to the Country Office.
Mr. Senghore stressed that gaps in leadership and operations require extra support from the region with a view to delivering results as One Plan International.
