United Nations Development Programme (UNDP’s)
Country Director, Mr. Dominic Sam, has described the Justice and
Security Trust Fund (JSTF) for Liberia as critical to the transition of
the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL).
Mr. Sam said, “The JSTF provides complementarity to
the funding that is already coming from the Peace Building Fund from
which Liberia benefits, and that is why we are placing emphasis on it.”
Mr. Sam spoke Thursday at UNDP’s office in Mamba
Point, Monrovia, during the signing of an amendment to Sweden’s
contribution to the Justice and Security Trust Fund.
He added that the trust fund has helped the UNDP
and its partners to give a “better platform” with a focus on the
acceleration of progress in the justice and security sectors of Liberia.
“The JSTF became operational since 2011, and it is
critical in Liberia, as we discuss the departure of the UN peacekeeping
mission,” the UNDP-Liberia boss said.
Moreover, he noted that they are also focused
intervening in the areas of good governance and the sustained
stabilization of Liberia. UNDP thanked Sweden for its continued
contribution to the JSTF.
