In what is a sustainability approach and promoting an independent media, the management of Radio Gbarnga with funding from Internews in Liberia at the weekend launched a restaurant in Gbarnga.
The event followed a call for proposal from some of Internews' partner radio stations in rural Liberia. During the pitching exercise, Radio Gbarnga pitched a restaurant business and was chosen to receive a grant of US$5,000 for the project.
Radio Gbarnga's management sees this as a boost to its revenue generation and quest of being sustainable and independent.

Thank you, Internews and we commit to doing the needful, as required.

BudgIT Liberia ends one-day Budget Analysis Town Hall meeting in B**g County.

Written by: Melvin Siakor/[email protected]

BudgiT Liberia has ended a one-day Budget Analysis Town Hall Meeting with civil society actors, local leaders, Women's Organizations, and the disabled community of B**g County.

BudgiT Liberia is a civic organization that applies technology to intersect citizens' engagement with institutional improvement to facilitate societal change.

According to the Country Lead at BudgiT Liberia, Abraham Varney, the meeting was intended to provide knowledge to citizens on Budget processes and legal frameworks that guide public finance management in Liberia.

Mr. Varney said the gathering was also intended to get citizens` understanding of the impacts of the budget on the Liberian people and sort out leakages within the revenue generation of the country.

He said now that the FY2024 National Draft Budget is at the legislature, it was incumbent upon lawmakers to begin engaging their constituencies on the different allocations within the budget; something he said most lawmakers are yet to do; thereby prompting his organization to embark on creating an awareness on the budget.

The BudgiT Liberia Country Lead further explained that his entity was also using the medium to get citizens at the community level views, opinions, and recommendations on the budget to push it through the Fiscal Transparency Advisory Group.

“Now that the 2024 National Draft Budget is at the national level, it is the responsibility of the lawmakers to come back to their people and explain to them what the government plans to do within twelve months, but they are all complacent at the parliament and just looking at what they can benefit; this is what BudgiT Liberia is trying to change the dynamics by coming at the community level to get citizens` views, opinions and recommendations and push it through the Fiscal Transparency Advisory Group”, Mr. Varney explained.

The meeting was held, on Friday, March 22, 2024, at the Gbarnga Youth Center in Gbarnga, B**g County.

Abraham Varney at the same time stated that BudgiT Liberia has been nominated and recognized by the government of Liberia to serve on its Fiscal Transparency Advisory Group as part of efforts to include citizens` participation in the development processes of the National Budget of Liberia.

Established in 2022 by the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Varney said, the FTAG is intended to bring state actors and non-state actors together to provide feedback and recommendations on how the state resources can be used.

He explained that it is also meant to help improve timeliness and comprehensiveness on the publication of documents that are involved in Fiscal procedures to create good governance and improve service delivery at the county`s level

For their part, participants of the meeting lauded BugdiT Liberia for the knowledge acquired, thus describing it as an eye-opener.

They narrated that their lawmakers have always played deaf ears to them in informing them about the national budget and what they stand to benefit from the budget.

With the knowledge required, they have promised to hold their leaders accountable for allocations made on their behalves in the budget.

They further recommended improvement of the timeliness of the publication and comprehensiveness of key budget documents among others.

The FY2024 National Draft Budget is in the tone of US$ 692m and is currently before the National Legislature.

The fellowship offers hands-on technical training tailored to current trends in the fact-checking field, personalized project mentorship by the DUBAWA fact-checking team, and support to establish fact-checking desks within their respective newsrooms.

BudgIT Liberia Ends A One-day Civic Engagement Meeting With Citizens of Margibi County on President Boakai's ARREST Agenda, & Govt.-Budget.

Written by: Melvin Siakor/[email protected]

(Margibi County, 2/ 22, 2024): With Support from the National Endowment for Democracy ( NED), BudgIT Liberia on Thursday, February 22, 2024, ended a one-day Town Hall Meeting with citizens of Margibi County.

BudgIT Liberia is a civic organization that applies technology to intersect citizen engagement with institutional improvement to facilitate change.

Giving an overview of the meeting, Mr. Abraham Varney, the Country Lead at BudgIT Liberia said the event was meant to give first-hand information to citizens on the government budget processes and legal framework that guide Public Finance Management in Liberia and further understand the "ARREST" Agenda of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr.

Mr. Varney said the dialogue was also intended to gather recommendations from the citizens on how and what should be allocated to the various portions of the ARREST Agenda which includes Agriculture, Road, Rule of Law, Education, Sanitation, and Tourism.

He said it was further meant for the citizens of Margibi to develop a shallow budget that will be presented to the national legislature as it creates the 2024 National Budget.

The meeting was held under the theme, “Citizens Engagement on the Government of Liberia`s ARREST Agenda to Guide the 2024 National Budget Allocation.”

It was attended by Civil Society Actors, Law enforcement officers, Local Authorities, Women's Organizations, and youth groups among others of Margibi County.

For their part, participants of the one-day dialogue lauded BudgIT Liberia for the knowledge acquired; thus describing it as an eye-opener.

They explained that in the past, citizens were not aware of the government budget crafting processes and how monies are being allocated to different sectors in Liberia; thereby raising concern about how taxpayers’ monies are used by those at the helm of power.

They at the same time made several recommendations to the 55th Legislature through BudgIT Liberia including increments in allocations to the Agricultural and Educational Sectors to make them more effective and vibrant.

The management of Phebe hospital says the medical facility has become overwhelmed by the repeated influx of patients under critical conditions from the recent gasoline tanker explosion that occurred on the late afternoon hour of Tuesday in Totota city, B**g County.

According to Phebe hospital, basic essential medical supplies and fuel oil to run the ambulances are running low.

Since the incident yesterday, the management of Phebe hospital says it has recorded over 80 patients who were still undergoing intensive medical care at Phebe Out Patients Department. At least one person was confirmed dead upon arrival last night at the hospital.

Phebe on early Wednesday morning began relocating most of the patients at other government run health facilities so as to decongest the hospital and ensure that others seek urgent attention.

However, police in the county say they are still investigating to establish the total number of people affected by the disaster.

In an interview with me this morning , regional police commander Morris Tingban narrated that more than 30 persons are believed to have died instantly from the tanker's explosion 💥.

B**g County Senators Moye and Kpehe along with Salala District Lawmaker Madam Briggs Mensah and some eminent citizens have been on the ground since last night exerting frantic efforts to ensure that Phebe was in readiness to adequately respond to the incident.

Early Wednesday morning, senator Moye made available some basic medical supplies, while senator Kpehe provided unspecific number of ambulances for the easy transportation of patients from Totota to other nearby health facilities across the country.
