The government set out a digital roadmap to 2029, eight focus areas under four pillars, aimed at growth, better public services, jobs and a narrower gap for rural communities.
Liberia has launched a national roadmap for its digital transformation to 2029. It sets eight priority areas under four strategic pillars, among them universal connectivity, digital inclusion, a national digital addressing system with postal reform, cybersecurity and data sovereignty, e-government and ICT-driven innovation.
In a statement on 2 February 2026, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications said the roadmap is meant to support economic growth, better public services and job creation, and to narrow the digital divide for rural and underserved communities. The launch followed talks with a World Bank Group delegation on digital cooperation.
Ecofin notes the size of the task: Liberia ranked 47th of 54 African countries in the UN’s 2024 e-government development index, and the ITU put internet penetration at 23.5% in 2023.
