On Friday, 25 October, Liberia’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Gurly Gibson Schwarz met with the Director General and staff of the Liberia National Standards Authority. The staff outlined challenges within the nation’s quality infrastructure. Key issues discussed included the urgent need for equipment, reagents, and training to conduct conformity assessments and sample testing, as well as the challenge in retaining skilled personnel.

During her tour, Ambassador Schwarz was informed of several priority areas including the need for a General Microbiology Lab, essential for compliance with both national and international food safety regulations, accreditation etc to compete in global markets. Another on the priority list of the institution is a Cement Testing Lab and a Mineral Oil Hydrocarbon Lab which are needed to ensure the safety and quality of construction materials and food packaging. These facilities are essential for qualifying products for export and safeguarding both food and non-food items within Liberia.

Ambassador Schwarz spoke of Liberia’s eligibility for programs like AGOA or African Growth and Opportunity Act and the UK Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), which can significantly benefit the country if Liberia had the capacity to export large quantity of products. The Ambassador promised to do her part to engage with partners and stakeholders to enhance the authority’s operations and recalled the initial support from the US Government through USAID during the tenure of Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. While grateful for past assistance, she acknowledged that more work remains to be done to strengthen Liberia’s quality facility which is urgently needed to increase the exportation of Liberian products.

Amb. Gurly Gibson Schwarz was delighted to meet with Hon. Jeff Blibo, Chairman of the National Investment Commission (NIC).

Their discussion focused on a series of topics including the development of projects ready for investment and promotion.

The Ambassador delved into the key areas of investment, including Mining, Energy, Agribusiness (for food security) and ICT Infrastructure.

She also emphasised the importance of involving Liberians (disporia) in the development of Liberia by providing incentives such as duty free privileges. This would act as an encouragement to return to Liberia and invest in its capital.

Ambassador Schwarz also highlighted the UK’s approved programme, titled ‘Developing Countries Trading Scheme’ (DCTS) for new investment and a way to increase trade and investment between Liberia and the UK.

Ambassador Gibson Schwarz exclaimed the need to enable the effective export of standardised products facilitated by the Liberia National Standards Authority and Laboratory.
