Message from the Superintendent
Over the past two years, the citizens of Grand Cape Mount through the County Administration in collaboration with the Ministry of Planning and Economic Affairs and our own Ministry of Internal Affairs, and with the strong, selfless support of the UN County Support Team (CST), have worked hard to put together this Development Agenda. This is monumental, as this is the first time in the history of Liberia that a systematic agenda has been painstakingly conceptualized, conceived, and is being formulated and implemented by the people of the County, and most especially from the grass-roots of the population, using the modem called the “bottom-up approach”.
This vision of development, conceived by our sagacious President Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, takes into consideration the worth of every Liberian man, woman, and child, regardless of socio-economic background, to assert that each of us has an idea of what is good for us, what is necessary for our growth and development, and that with expert guidance and support we can develop to our fullest potential, both materially and immaterially, in a very short time. Now anyone can pick up a copy of our CDA and and read about us. Now, for the first time, we are telling the world who we are, what we have to offer, and what we want to become.
As superintendent of Grand Cape Mount County, my vision for the development is that we utilize every fiber of our cultural heritage, our abundant natural resources of lush vegetation, fresh waters, gold, diamonds, perhaps natural oil, diverse flora and fauna, and our men, women, and children to evolve into a County with all the emoluments of education and advanced technology to build a safe and modern society where our people can live up to their highest potential. We will strive for clean drinking water, pliable farm-to-market roads and bridges, access to health facilities and justice for all. We will capacitate our citizens to build a modern County that is uniquely Cape Mountainian and Liberian.
Let me again thank each person of the various UN Agencies, the International Non- Governmental Organizations, the various organs of our Government who have worked so hard to make this CDA possible. Now the task is ours to convert the Agenda from ideal to reality. With your support and encouragement we shall succeed, even as together we have succeeded in putting this document into print.
Thank you.
