Message from the Superintendent

Most of the county’s scarce resources and minimum basic services are concentrated in Monrovia and other urban communities. This situation doubtlessly resulted into our citizens immigrating in search of education, good healthcare and improved living conditions. Data collected as we know, is cardinal to development planning and resource allocation. The preparation and production of this document development package has opened a new chapter in the annals of our history as a nation. The Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) process has enabled us as a county to galvanize our efforts and harness our meager resources, both human and material, to dialogue and chart a new course of action now referred to as the Grand Kru County Development Agenda.

It is therefore incumbent upon us to commend the Unity Party-led Government through and Her Excellency Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for her pursuing the vision to decentralize every sector, which will stimulate rapid economic growth and national development. We cannot forget to thank the Ministers of Internal Affairs and Planning and Economic Affairs for their leadership guidance in the process. The intervention of our partners in progress (UN CST, UNDP, UNMIL, and International NGOs) in this endeavor is also noteworthy.

This document would not have been possible without the tireless efforts and sleepless nights spent by our staff, headed by the Assistant Superintendent for Development. The efforts of our citizens from clan to district levels cannot be overemphasized. We also recognize the immense contribution of the Grand Kru County Legislature Legislative Caucus is the last but not the least.

My fellow citizens, remember that small minds discuss people, big minds discuss events, but great minds discuss ideas. Let us not relent to in championing our own cause and decide our own destiny in order to accomplish our dreams and aspirations. Providence and posterity shall be our judge, if we fail to leave our footprints on the sand of time.

Superintendent, Grand Kru County
