Monrovia- November 13, 2025: The Millennium Challenge Corporation has released its latest scorecard, and Liberia has achieved a notable success, passing 12 out of 22 indicators. However, the country’s performance in the Child Health indicator is a cause for concern, despite passing the Health Expenditure indicator.

Child Health: A Key Priority

Liberia’s child health outcomes are a pressing issue, and maternal and child health is paramount and non-negotiable in today’s world. The government must prioritize investments in child health and ensure that every child has access to quality healthcare. This can be achieved by increasing funding for healthcare programs, improving healthcare infrastructure, and promoting public-private partnerships in the healthcare sector.

The government’s achievement on the MCC scorecard is a step in the right direction, and it should build on this momentum to address the areas that require improvement. With sustained efforts and investments in key areas, Liberia can achieve its development goals and improve the lives of its citizens. The government should prioritize effective implementation of policies and programs, and ensure that the benefits of progress reach all Liberians.

By prioritizing child health and investing in healthcare, Liberia can live up to the mantra that the quality of life for children and their families is a top priority. The government should also engage with civil society organizations, community leaders, and other stakeholders to raise awareness about the importance of child health and promote behavior change.

The MCC scorecard is an important tool for evaluating a country’s performance in areas that are critical to economic growth and development. Liberia’s achievement on the scorecard is a testament to the government’s efforts to improve the country’s economic management, governance, and anti-corruption reforms.
