Ministry of Education Joins Partners to Launch 2025 Japan Supplementary Budget Projects

Monrovia, Liberia – April 27, 2026

The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Government of Japan and United Nations partners, has launched the 2025 Japan Supplementary Budget Projects, reinforcing a coordinated approach to advancing education and social services in Liberia.

Aligned with Pillar 6 of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development, the initiatives integrate education, health, gender, protection, and WASH, reflecting how these challenges are experienced at the level of the child and the community.

Delivering keynote remarks, Minister of Education Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah emphasized that learning outcomes are shaped by more than instruction. Attendance, wellbeing, safety, and basic conditions must be addressed together to enable schools to function effectively.

She highlighted the Ministry’s focus on strengthening monitoring and accountability systems, including digital supervision supported by georeferenced data, to improve how gaps in schools are identified and addressed.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to aligning these efforts with national systems, strengthening institutional capacity, and delivering sustained impact.

Partners, including UNICEF, UNFPA, and UN Women, reiterated their support for coordinated implementation that advances inclusive education, gender equality, and community resilience.
