On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, The Female Journalists Association of Liberia (FeJAL) presented the implementation report for Phase I of the nationwide Financial Education (Fin-Ed) Campaign at the National Financial Education Stakeholders Meeting, held at the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) in Monrovia. The meeting brought together representatives from government ministries and agencies, the financial sector, educational institutions, youth and student organizations, civil society organizations, development partners, and the media to review the progress of the campaign and contribute to the design and implementation of Phase II.
Presenting the report, FeJAL President Lisa Tenneh Daisay highlighted the campaign’s key achievements, lessons learned, challenges, and recommendations for the next phase. The nationwide initiative was implemented by FeJAL in partnership with PERT Consultancy Inc. as part of the Central Bank of Liberia’s National Financial Education Program. According to the report, the campaign reached more than 11,800 Liberians through a range of financial education activities, including Training of Trainers (ToT), county consultations, community outreach sessions, radio awareness programs, dramas, jingles, and the distribution of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials.
Dr. Musa Dukuly, Deputy Governor for Economic Policy at the Central Bank of Liberia, in his opening remarks, emphasized that financial literacy extends beyond managing money. “Financial literacy is about empowering people with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions that improve their lives and contribute to national development,” he said.
Dr. Dukuly commended FeJAL for its outstanding contribution to advancing financial education throughout Liberia and recognized the efforts of government institutions, educational institutions, youth and student organizations, commercial banks, development partners, and the CBL Corporate Communications Team for supporting the initiative.
The campaign also recorded positive outcomes in improving financial literacy. Participants demonstrated increased knowledge of budgeting, saving, investment planning, and financial goal setting, while expressing greater confidence in accessing and utilizing financial services. Drawing from the implementation experience, FeJAL recommended stronger coordination among implementing partners, increased stakeholder participation, deeper community engagement, and more targeted interventions to enhance the impact and sustainability of Phase II.
The National Financial Education Stakeholders Meeting provided an opportunity for participants to validate the findings from Phase I, identify best practices, clarify institutional roles and responsibilities, and develop a coordinated roadmap for the next phase of the campaign. Discussions focused on ensuring that future financial education interventions are inclusive, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of Liberians across all sectors.
As Liberia prepares to launch Phase II of the Financial Education Campaign, FeJAL reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the Central Bank of Liberia and other stakeholders to expand financial literacy, strengthen financial inclusion, and equip more Liberians with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions that improve household resilience and support sustainable national development.
