MONROVIA, Liberia, August 13, 2026/APO Group/ —
The LEITI Secretariat, as part of its MSG-approved work plan 2026 and to strengthen staff capacity to deal with the new 2023 EIT| Standard, facilitated the participation of two members of the LEITI Secretariat in a short-term capacity-building training program at Magna Skills Institute held in Accra, Ghana. The training, which was conducted from August 3-7, 2026, forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the professional competencies and institutional capacity of LEITI staff, enabling them to effectively perform their respective functions and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Secretariat. Saba B. Cephas, Administrative Manager, participated in Human Resource Management training, whilst Christine Humaru, Communications and Outreach Officer, was trained in Report Writing Skills, with each staff member undertaking a specialized course aligned with their respective responsibilities.
The primary purpose of the capacity-building program was to enhance the knowledge, technical skills, and professional competencies of LEITI staff in key areas relevant to their responsibilities. The support provided by GIZ Liberia through the LEITI Secretariat is therefore commendable and contributes significantly to LEITI’s efforts to build a skilled, efficient, and professional workforce. The participation of the two female staff promotes gender inclusivity, which aligns with LEITI’s Act, the 2023 EITI Standard, and the Operational policy framework of the LEITI Secretariat. The Secretariat looks forward to translating the knowledge and skills gained from the training into improved work performance, enhanced institutional processes, and more effective implementation of LEITI’s mandate.
