It is aligned with Liberia\u2019s national development agenda and global commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting an overview of the framework, Sidiki Quisia, Partnership and Development Finance Officer at the UN Resident Coordinator\u2019s Office, explained that the framework serves as the UN\u2019s main roadmap for supporting Liberia\u2019s development over the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that implementation will be driven through flagship programmes including EduSkills, Adolescent Girls First, Inclusive Digital Liberia, and SheFeeds Liberia each designed to deliver tangible results at the community level.<\/p>\n<p>Quisia emphasized that the framework prioritizes coordinated UN action, measurable impact, and a strong focus on vulnerable populations under the principle of \u201cleaving no one behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lovett Weah, Disability Inclusion Focal Point at the UN Resident Coordinator\u2019s Office, called on journalists to adopt more inclusive and ethical reporting practices, particularly when covering persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned against the use of outdated and discriminatory language, urging media practitioners to use respectful and accurate terminology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must ensure that information is accessible to everyone,\u201d Weah said. \u201cSimple steps like adding captions to videos or using inclusive language can make a significant difference, especially for persons with hearing or visual impairments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weah also highlighted how lack of accessible information contributed to misinformation during past health crises such as COVID-19, particularly within the deaf community, where limited access to accurate information fueled vaccine hesitancy.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop further emphasized the media\u2019s responsibility in promoting transparency, combating misinformation, and amplifying the voices of marginalized communities.<\/p>\n<p>Participants engaged in discussions on how journalists can better report on development issues, ensure accuracy, and contribute to national progress through responsible storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>The UN reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening collaboration with the media beyond official events, encouraging continuous engagement in community-level reporting, monitoring, and public awareness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Liberia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
