As the Republic of Liberia’s Special Envoy for U.S. Trade & Investment, our office has set an ambitious five-year target: to mobilize $2 billion in direct investment (2024–2029) across four catalytic sectors: Mining, Agriculture, Tourism, and Infrastructure. This is more than an investment goal; it is a blueprint to transition Liberia from aid dependency to an investment-driven economy, one where Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs), diaspora engagement, and multilateral alignment drive sustainable progress.

Liberia is at a critical inflection point. The election of H.E. Boakai signaled a renewed commitment to transparency, reform, and investor confidence. Our office’s mandate is to strengthen bilateral relations, attract high-value capital, and ensure Liberia emerges as a competitive, reliable, and transparent destination for U.S. and global investors.

The $2 billion Roadmap is built on:

• Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs): De-risking private capital through co-investment platforms.
• Investor Engagement: Direct partnerships with U.S. companies, state chambers, and diaspora entrepreneurs.
• Institutional Reform: Cutting red tape, improving ease of doing business, and enforcing investor protections.
• Diaspora Mobilization: Harnessing Liberia’s global diaspora as a bridge to U.S. and international capital.
• Multilateral Alignment: Partnering with DFC, AfDB, MCC, and other institutions to scale infrastructure and finance.

This plan will not only deliver capital inflows but also create a resilient and inclusive economic foundation for Liberia’s future.
