OVERVIEW

One of the defining features of modern, progressive nations is the extent to which SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE is applied and integrated into practical everyday functions and solutions. Liberia doesn’t fit the bill of modern and progressive. Its neighbors and the world have moved into AI technology with warp speed.  The last 40 years of a Coup d’Etat and two Civil Wars has created the least conducive environment for Technology Absorption and Technology Adoption. And in the ruins of war Liberians are confined to a subsistence search for food and shelter. This diminished capacity to absorb and adopt technologies produces negative social, economic and developmental consequences because there aren’t enough Liberians with the basic technical or social skills to implement, build, maintain and innovate in a modern society, or to attract and keep the kind of Foreign Direct investments which Liberia needs to thrive. We’re a less attractive and competitive destination because of our TECHNOLOGY deficits.
