Margaret Ansumana, has reaffirmed Liberia\u2019s commitment to ongoing efforts by the Maritime Organization for West and Central Africa (MOWCA) to establish a comprehensive maritime infrastructure financing framework, including the creation of a Regional Maritime Development Bank and the proposed founding of an African Maritime Organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at the 19th Ordinary Session of the General Assembly and the 50th Anniversary of MOWCA in Banjul, The Gambia, Cllr. Ansumana delivered remarks on behalf of LiMA\u2019s Commissioner\/CEO, Cllr. Neto Zarzar Lighe, Sr. She acknowledged the magnitude of the tasks ahead but expressed confidence in the collective will of member states to achieve these historic milestones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile we are mindful of the complex and demanding path toward realizing these ambitious initiatives, Liberia is absolutely confident that, through unity and determination, they are achievable,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under the theme, \u201cFostering Effective Civil Services, High Safety Standards, and Low Pollution,\u201d the Assembly is holding deliberations to address critical challenges confronting the region\u2019s maritime domain, including inland waterway safety, environmental sustainability, maritime security, and trade facilitation. Delegates are also reviewing capacity-building programs, environmental protection initiatives, and strategies aimed at strengthening regional trade integration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Central to the deliberations is MOWCA\u2019s proposal to establish a Regional Maritime Development Bank to provide sustainable financing mechanisms for maritime infrastructure, port modernization, shipping development, and blue economy projects. In addition, discussions advanced the launch of a MOWCA Regional Maritime Fund to mobilize resources for priority regional initiatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the landmark gathering, Cllr. Ansumana joined other member states in deliberating on transforming MOWCA into an African Maritime Organization, a strategic institutional reform designed to elevate the body\u2019s mandate, enhance its operational capacity, and expand its continental influence in maritime governance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Liberian delegation joins other delegations in thanking the Republic of The Gambia for successfully hosting the 19th Ordinary Session of the General Assembly of MOWCA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We also wish to commend the Secretary-General and Secretariat of MOWCA for the transformative work they continue to do in making this noble organization a coordinating and unifying force within the maritime domain, particularly in West and Central Africa,\u201d she noted.<br \/>\nCllr. Ansumana observed that the Assembly and anniversary celebration are taking place at a time when the region faces pressing maritime challenges, including illegal fishing, piracy, threats to marine biodiversity and ecosystems, and high seaborne transport costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cTo address these issues, we must strengthen regional cooperation, share expertise and experience, collaborate effectively, and mobilize both financial and human resources,\u201d she emphasized. \u201cIn this regard, we acknowledge the tremendous work MOWCA continues to do in driving strategic reforms and building partnerships aimed at reshaping Africa\u2019s maritime future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Deputy Commissioner Ansumana concluded by reaffirming Liberia\u2019s full commitment to all ongoing initiatives intended to transform the maritime sector of the region and the African continent as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Source :
