This assessment received government comments and feedback on the finalised data. These comments have been incorporated into the assessment at the GDI research team’s discretion. Usually the comments received highlight where a bill is in formulation, or has recently passed into law, and this has been missed by the country assessor. Only comments which are grounded in evidence are incorporated into the assessment.

Liberia Country Brief
Liberia AssessmentCorruption risks are high across Liberia’s defence institutions, with the legislature playing a limited role in shaping defence policy and persistent weaknesses in procurement open competition, audit trails and offset contracting. Compliance and ethics units exist, but lack sufficient independence, and internal audit functions do not necessarily consider findings from an active external audit body. Objectivity is also limited in selection, appointment, and promotion processes, even as disciplinary measures and sanctions for military personnel demonstrate comparatively stronger performance.
