My thanks & gratitude go to all family, friends and co-workers and to the President, Vice President, officials & the Liberian people for their presence, prayers & words of comfort as I laid the body of my first and truly devoted son to earth in eternal peace. God bless all of you

@Sarah_Montague @stephensackur @TheZeinabBadawi Tnx for keeping HardTalk hard. Liberia under Pres. Weah has made strides in tackling some of the challenges that have kept the country backward. It would be great to see you speak with our President. 🙏🏽

@oluwashina 😂😂

Lol 😂 Your president at 51 played against Nigeria in a friendly back in 2018 🤣

@oluwashina @67Kelechi Not a fair game. You can’t use Senior Man against us, small Liberia🇱🇷. Let’s see how it ends.😉

#NGR 2-0 #LBR It’s a brace for seniorman! @67Kelechi with a calm finish inside the box.

South Africa, a model for decentralisation and cooperative governance on the African continent, signs the African Charter on Decentralisation, becoming the 18th country to do so. A boost for continental efforts... @AfricanSchool_D #ASD2021 cogta.gov.za/index.php/2021…

@zemelak_a Prof Ayele giving some background to his presentation on Federal States and Development in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ‘A museum of nations’ vs ‘a prison house of nations’ Ethiopian History 101 #ASD2021 #AfricanDecentralisation

Day 5 of the Inaugural ASD First Presentation: County Governments and Development in Kenya - Dr. John Mutakha Kangu My takeaway: For countries whose decentralisation reform is nascent, the Kenyan model provides guidance on things to borrow and avoid. @AfricanSchool_D #ASD2021

Kicking off today at the African School on Decentralisation, Dr John Mutakha Kangu is a Senior Lecturer at Moi University and currently working with the Council of Governors as an expert on intergovernmental relations. @CFGS_AAU @UWC_DOI @hp_gichana @AfricanSchool_D

Samuel Johnson from Liberia delivers the concluding feedback @AfricanSchool_D

Day Four of the Inaugural School on Decentralisation @HannsSeidelSA @AfricanSchool_D #ASD2021

Decentralisation is a concept easily thrown around, (ab)used, and also avoided, often without regard for the complexity that it represents. Yet, many countries on the continent are engaged in it, in one way or another. This 1st Factsheet in our new series explains the concept.

Today we hold Day 3 of the African School on Decentralisation. We had a lively panel discussion on ‘Developmental Local Government’: What is its nature and are there pre-conditions for local authorities to deliver on that mandate’ @AddisAbabaUni @UWC_DOI @UWCLawFaculty

My takeaway from Prof. Eva Besler's presentation: Owing to the principle of shared rule which places emphasis on the participation of all levels (central and subnational), we should not always think of decentralisation as the opposite of centralisation. @AfricanSchool_D #ASD2021

Naturally this would be my first today, Prof Eva Maria Belser explaining the low representation of women in governance. Speaking on decentralisation and development, she asks what kind of transformation do we want in order to improve livelihoods. @AfricanSchool_D

Day 3 of the Inaugural African School on Decentralisation Topic: Decentralisation and Development Prof. Eva Maria Belser, Co-Director, Institute of Federalism, University of Fribourg. @AfricanSchool_D @HannsSeidelSA @CLGFSouthernAf @UWC_DOI #ASD2021

Dr. Conrad Bosire Kenya 🇰🇪 discusses the African Charter on Decentralisation in Africa - pressure for ratification will most likely come from the bottom-up, from the local governments themselves that want it to be on the Agenda @BosireConrad #ASD2021 #AfricanDecentralisation
