MONROVIA – The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) has intensified efforts to strengthen institutional accountability, performance monitoring, and strategic implementation through a specialized training and orientation exercise aimed at assessing the first-year progress of its Five-Year Corporate Strategic Plan (2025–2029).
The one-day exercise, organized by the Policy, Statistics, and Strategic Planning Division (PSSPD) in collaboration with the Enterprise Design, Quality Assurance, and Results Division (EDQARD), brought together designated Focal Persons from various departments, divisions, and sections across the Authority.
The training forms part of the LRA’s broader commitment to improving institutional efficiency, evidence-based planning, transparency, and service delivery in revenue administration.
Participants were equipped with technical guidance, reporting templates, and practical tools required to support enterprise planning, work plan implementation, reporting, monitoring and evaluation activities within their respective offices.
The exercise is intended to ensure a structured and comprehensive assessment of the implementation progress of the corporate strategic plan during its first year.
The designated focal persons are expected to begin engagements with various departments and divisions to facilitate data gathering and validation through the review of work plans and M&E reports. The process will support the compilation of key performance indicators and institutional assessment metrics aimed at evaluating progress across the authority.
Speaking during the exercise, Mohammed M. Jallibah, acting manager for Policy, Statistics, and Strategic Planning Division, emphasized the importance of the assessment in strengthening institutional performance and accountability.
“This exercise is important because it helps the authority measure progress, identify gaps, and improve institutional performance in line with national and international standards.” Jallibah stated.
He noted that the assessment serves as a critical benchmark under both the Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT) framework and the Performance Management Service Contract (PMSC) framework used by the Office of the President to evaluate corporate governance and institutional performance across public entities, including the LRA.
Additionally, the assessment is expected to generate evidence-based insights, strengthen decision-making processes, and support the identification of performance gaps requiring strategic intervention.
The exercise will continue over the coming weeks as the authority advances efforts to evaluate implementation outcomes and strengthen institutional effectiveness under the corporate strategic plan.
The initiative reflects the Liberia Revenue Authority’s growing emphasis on performance-based management, institutional accountability, and continuous improvement in support of national development and effective public revenue administration.
