A High-Level Summit on Aid Effectiveness opened in the Liberian capital Monrovia on 15 April with the theme: “Maximizing High Quality Aid for Growth and Development”. The two-day Summit, organized by the Government of Liberia and partners, brought together donors, non-governmental organizations and civil society. The UN Deputy Special Representative for Recovery and Governance, Moustapha Soumaré, commended the Government for seeking ownership over the coordination of aid delivery in Liberia and described the Summit as “further evidence of the Government’s drive to lift Liberia onto a path of sustainable, long-term development”.
