MONROVIA — Integrity Watch Liberia has held high-level talks with a delegation from the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), focusing on how digital technology can strengthen transparency, combat corruption and improve public accountability in Liberia.
The meeting, held over the weekend at the organization’s offices in Monrovia, brought together international officials and local anti-corruption advocates to explore innovative, technology-driven solutions for governance and citizen engagement.
High-Level UN Delegation Engages
The visiting delegation was led by Nicola Clase, Chair of the PBC’s country-specific configuration and Sweden’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Other members included Olubukola Arowobusoye, Chief of the Peacebuilding Commission Support Branch; Julius Kramer of Sweden’s Permanent Mission; and Salim Yousfi of Morocco’s Permanent Mission.
TALKAY Platform at Center of Talks
At the heart of the discussions was TALKAY, a mobile and web-based platform developed by Integrity Watch Liberia to empower citizens to report corruption in real time.
Officials say the platform enables users to flag corruption-related issues, receive feedback from institutions and contribute to improved public service delivery.
The UN delegation expressed strong interest in the platform’s potential to enhance accountability and rebuild trust between citizens and government institutions.
Technology as Tool for Accountability
Both parties examined how digital tools like TALKAY can promote inclusive governance and support sustainable peacebuilding efforts.
Stakeholders emphasized that technology-driven solutions are becoming increasingly critical in addressing governance challenges, particularly in strengthening citizen participation and transparency.
Milestone for Integrity Watch
Representatives of Integrity Watch Liberia described the engagement as a significant step in the organization’s growth.
Founded just over five years ago, the institution has focused on promoting transparency, challenging corruption and advocating for accountable governance.
The organization also acknowledged support from the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, which has contributed to the development and expansion of its digital initiatives.
Looking Ahead
Integrity Watch Liberia reaffirmed its commitment to scaling digital innovations, deepening partnerships and advancing reforms aimed at building a more transparent and accountable society.
Officials say the engagement highlights the growing role of technology in governance and positions Liberia as an emerging example of how citizen-centered innovation can address long-standing challenges in accountability and public trust.
