Message from the Superintendent
This County Development Agenda is a manifestation of Liberia’s new
bottom-up approach, where development decision making is not left
simply to the politicians, but instead starts with ideas and input from
the people. To that end, the CDA was formulated through a participatory
process starting with five district consultations and one consultation
in the city of Buchanan.
The ideas generated in those meetings were then delivered to a regional consultation. These meetings united people from various clans, soliciting the voices of numerous interest groups to contribute to the process of identifying development needs across the County and society. As we close the first phase of this historic process and move now toward implementation, we the people of Grand Bassa County must take a moment to show our gratitude to the many friends who have helped us along the way, and whose help we count on for the future.
We are grateful to the honorable Minister of Internal Affairs Ambulai B. Johnson Jr. and Minister Toga McIntosh of the Ministry of Planning and Economic Affairs for their guidance and moral support in making the CDA a reality. We must also acknowledge the tireless efforts of the UNMIL Civil Affairs and Planning officers attached to the County for their assistance in the preparation of this document. This job could not have been done without the valuable contribution of Madam Superintendent Julia D. Cassell and the Grand Bassa Caucus of the 52nd Legislature, whose comments and guidance we highly appreciated. We also need to thank Assistant Superintendent for Development Bailey K. M. Togba and staff for chairing the process.
Finally, on behalf of the County Administration, I must express our fond appreciation to all the district leaders, women’s and youth groups, chiefs and citizens of Grand Bassa County for their essential participation.
