Agenda for Liberia's Transformation
The Agenda for Liberia's Transformation (ALT) is an ideological movement uniting Liberian
professionals, community leaders, and everyday citizens in a shared mission to reimagine how Liberia
is governed, structured, and empowered. We believe that true national progress is not delivered by
oversized bureaucracies but unlocked through free citizens, vibrant private enterprise, and
accountable governance.
ALT is not a political party — it is a cross-partisan coalition of conviction. We identify, support, and
mobilize behind candidates who share our reform agenda, regardless of party affiliation. We build the
intellectual architecture of transformation: evidence-based policy proposals, civic education, resource
mobilization, and strategic electoral engagement. Liberia's best days are ahead — and her own people will build them.
Who We Are: The ALT Community
The Agenda for Liberia's Transformation is powered by ordinary Liberians with extraordinary commitment. Our membership spans every profession, every county, every generation, and every
political background. What unites us is not party, tribe, or class — it is a shared diagnosis of what ails Liberia and a shared determination to fix it through structural reform, civic engagement, and
principled leadership.

ALT's Organizational Structure
ALT is governed by a democratic, distributed leadership model that reflects the very governance principles we champion. No single individual, faction, or donor controls the movement. Authority is distributed across an elected National Board, a professional Policy Committee, regional County Chapters, and a diaspora network — each with clear mandates, term limits, and accountability
mechanisms.

Our Vision: 2040
A prosperous, self-reliant Liberia where lean, accountable government institutions empower a strong, entrepreneurial, and civically engaged citizenry to drive sustainable national transformation.
We envision a Liberia where the role of the state is clearly defined, constitutionally bounded, and operationally efficient — freeing the full creative and economic potential of its people. In this future, the government does not crowd out private initiative; it creates the enabling conditions for it to flourish. Citizens are not passive recipients of state benevolence but active architects of their own communities, livelihoods, and national destiny.
This vision demands structural courage: the willingness to reduce wasteful government expenditure, rationalize bloated public institutions, and redirect national resources toward essential services — infrastructure, education, rule of law, and public health. It demands a political culture that rewards competence, transparency, and results over patronage and ethnic loyalty.
ALT's vision is anchored in a belief that Liberia's transformation will not come from external donors or silver-bullet political figures, but from an informed, mobilized, and empowered Liberian citizenry demanding excellence from their government and from themselves.

Our Mission
The mission of the Agenda for Liberia's Transformation is to proffer evidence-based policy solutions, identify and support reform-aligned candidates, and mobilize Liberian citizens and resources behind a national agenda that reduces government inefficiency, expands economic freedom, and builds durable institutions capable of sustaining democratic governance and broad-based prosperity.
We accomplish this mission through four interconnected pillars: rigorous policy research and advocacy, candidate identification and electoral engagement, civic education and community mobilization, and resource development and coalition building. Each pillar reinforces the other, creating a self-reinforcing engine of structural change that operates across election cycles and across
political lines.
ALT is committed to working within Liberia's democratic framework — shaping the agenda from the outside, holding power accountable, and building the civic infrastructure necessary for long-term transformation. We do not seek power for its own sake. We seek to change the conditions under which power is exercised in Liberia.
Research & Policy Advocacy
Produce credible, Liberia-specific policy
briefs and reform proposals grounded in
data and comparative governance
evidence.
Candidate Identification & Support
Vet, endorse, and actively campaign for
political candidates who publicly commit
to the ALT reform agenda.
Voter & Resource Mobilization
Organize Liberian communities at home
and in the diaspora to vote, donate, and
advocate for agenda-aligned outcomes.
Civic Education & Coalition
Building
Build a broad, cross-partisan base of
citizens who understand the ALT agenda
and champion it in their communities.
Core Values & Principles
ALT's work is guided by a set of foundational values that define our character as a movement, shape our policy positions, and determine the kinds of leaders and solutions we champion. These values are not abstract — they are operational commitments that govern how we research, advocate, organize, and engage.
Rule of Law:
No individual, institution, or political interest is
above the law. Liberia's transformation begins
with equal, impartial justice for all citizens.

Economic Freedom
We believe in the power of free enterprise,
property rights, and open markets to generate
wealth and opportunity, far more effectively than
state-directed programs.
Transparency & Accountability
Public officials must answer to citizens. ALT
demands open budgets, accessible information,
and consequences for public malfeasance.
Evidence-Based Reform
Our policy positions are grounded in data,
rigorous analysis, and lessons from comparable
reform contexts — not ideology alone or political
convenience.
Long-Term Sustainability
We prioritize reforms that outlast election cycles
— structural changes embedded in law,
institutions, and civic culture that endure across
administrations.
