Crozierville Township, Liberia — Naymote Partners for Democratic Development has expanded its nationwide civic engagement campaign with a high-impact town hall in Crozierville Township, bringing citizens face-to-face with findings from the 2025 President Meter Report to assess government performance under the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).
The forum focused on the first year of the AAID’s implementation, covering the period from January to December 2025, and provided residents with a practical framework to evaluate whether policy commitments are translating into real development outcomes.
More than 50 stakeholders participated in the engagement, including community leaders, women and girls, persons with disabilities (PWDs), students, youth groups, political party representatives, civil society actors, and local government officials. The town hall created a direct platform for learning, dialogue, and action, reinforcing citizen ownership of accountability and governance oversight.
The session was facilitated by D. Freeman Myers, Naymote’s Research Project Associate, who presented the President Meter Report in a simplified and accessible format. Participants were guided through the report’s methodology, the overall performance of the AAID, implementation status, key findings, challenges, and policy recommendations at both local and national levels.
The presentation equipped citizens with evidence-based tools to engage governance processes, question leadership performance, and demand accountability from elected and appointed officials.
In a symbolic handover underscoring citizen participation, Naymote’s Program Director, Peace Thor Mahteh-Boyee, presented hard copies of the report to youth leadership representatives and the Township Commissioner of Crozierville. She emphasized that the President Meter Report is designed as a citizen accountability tool to keep governance people-centered, transparent, and results-oriented.
Receiving the report, Crozierville Township Commissioner Hon. Nathaniel Holder commended Naymote for decentralizing accountability efforts. He noted that while residents often follow the President Meter findings through radio talk shows and social media, the town hall provided a rare opportunity for direct engagement, clarification, and critical questioning.
He added that the interaction demonstrated that citizens are informed, attentive, and prepared to hold leaders accountable at all levels of government.
The engagement strengthened public awareness, deepened community understanding of national governance performance, and inspired participants to take ownership of accountability at the local level. Community members committed to sharing insights from the forum and using the report to engage leaders constructively in their local vernaculars.
The Crozierville town hall forms part of Naymote’s Democracy Advancement Program (DAP), which seeks to inform citizens, promote accountable leadership, strengthen democratic governance, and advance inclusive development across Liberia. Through evidence-based research, civic education, and grassroots engagement, Naymote continues to bridge the gap between public policy, performance, and the Liberian people
