Monrovia, Liberia – All government institutions have been instructed to adopt and execute the new National Performance Management and Compliance System (PMCS) immediately by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., in a historic effort to advance efficiency, transparency, and better public service delivery.
According to the President, the goal of the project is to make Liberia’s public sector a result-driven model that places a high value on responsiveness, accountability, and citizen-focused government.
As part of the President’s commitment to sustainable development and good governance, the PMCS was developed to assist public institutions in coordinating their goals with Liberia’s national development strategy.
“Through the PMCS, we are building a foundation for a government that is responsive to the needs of its people and operates with a clear vision for Liberia’s progress and prosperity,” said President Boakai in his directive.
Key Directives of the PMCS Implementation are as follows:
1. Performance Contracts: All heads of government institutions will enter into performance contracts with the Office of the President, outlining specific objectives, targets, and deliverables aligned with national priorities.
2. Integration with Government Planning: The PMCS will be embedded into the planning and operational processes of each public institution, ensuring that their activities are coherent with both their statutory mandates and Liberia’s development objectives.
3. Regular Performance Reviews: Ongoing reviews will monitor progress, address challenges, and implement necessary adjustments to ensure that goals are met efficiently.
4. Oversight by the Cabinet Secretariat: The Cabinet Secretariat, led by Director-General Nathaniel T. Kwabo, will oversee the PMCS implementation, providing guidance and support across all government institutions.
The Administration’s dedication to a public sector that embodies honesty, service, and accountability is reaffirmed by the Presidential decree. The PMCS ushers in a new age of public service in Liberia, one that is committed to fulfilling and surpassing Liberians’ expectations.
