His doctorate research focused on The Impact of Conservation Agreements on Livelihoods and Forest Protection in Rural Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy heartfelt thanks go to my family, professors and co-workers for the enormous support they provided as I worked on the PhD while still discharging my duties as the CI Liberia Country Director. Hard work and focus took me across the finishing line. I hope this can be an inspiration and encouragement to Liberians, especially the youth who are looking to enhance their education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Walden University is a private online university headquartered in Minneapolis. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), one of six regional accrediting associations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the PhD, Dr. Mulbah has four master\u2019s degrees, including Master of Philosophy in Public Policy and Administration (Walden University, US); Master of Science in Project Management (Salford Business School, UK); Master of Arts in Environment, Development and Peace with a specialization in Climate Change Policy (United Nations Mandated University for Peace, Costa Rica); and Master of Public Health (Cuttington University, Liberia).<\/p>\n<p>He also has a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry (University of Liberia), in addition to ten professional certificates from Liberia, United States, Egypt, Tunisia and Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mulbah became CI Liberia Country Director in April 2020. He recently signed a Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with five Liberian Universities to provide internship and career development opportunities to Liberia youths pursuing environmental courses. The initiative is part of CI Liberia\u2019s Young Conservation Leaders Program that seeks to empower young Liberian students to build successful careers in environmental conservation and management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge Liberian youth to search and seize opportunities to enhance their education and skills despite the many serious challenges they may be facing. Liberia is looking to them to move the country forward in terms of social and economic development. The sky is the limit for Liberians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
