Council of Liberian Experts in the Diaspora
Robert G. Sherman, Ph.D.
Founder, COLED
Welcome Message From Our Founder
2023 marked the 176th independence anniversary of our ancestral homeland, Liberia. Despite its colossal mineral and natural resource endowments, its socioeconomic development is not in tandem with its age. The United Nations and other organizations that track economic development around the globe continue to characterize Liberia as one of the least developed countries as manifested by very high illiteracy rates, high infant mortality, food insecurity, low levels of manufacturing/industrialization, poor infrastructure, low life expectancy that is triggered by an abysmal healthcare delivery system as well as unemployment/underemployment rates that are astronomical.
Our Clusters
Our clusters reflect the various sectors of the Liberian economy. Members with academic backgrounds and practical/professional experiences in the referenced sectors caucus amongst themselves to identify the causes of Liberia’s economic malaise and offer innovative solutions that focus on private-sector initiatives.
