We are delighted to announce that Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has joined as a donor and supporter of the Monrovia Tech Summit (MTS) 2024, underscoring their commitment to fostering digital literacy and transformation in Liberia. As the Head of Communications for the event, I am excited to share this significant partnership that aligns perfectly with our vision and mission.
The Monrovia Tech Summit, now in its third year, is a flagship program of the West Africa ICT Action Network. This annual event, which falls under our Digital Literacy & Digital Transformation initiative in the Mano River Union, aims to equip Liberian youth and professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the digital age. With the theme “Innovate to Impact: Empowering Youth Through Digital Skills,” the summit seeks to create a platform for learning, networking, and collaboration among tech enthusiasts, industry leaders, and policymakers.
CRS has a longstanding history of supporting initiatives that promote education, empowerment, and community development. Their involvement in the MTS 2024 is a testament to their dedication to uplifting communities and fostering sustainable development. By partnering with the Monrovia Tech Summit, CRS is helping to bridge the digital divide and provide invaluable opportunities for Liberian youth and professionals to excel in the technology sector.
According to Peterking Quaye, Founder & Director of the Monrovia Tech Summit, “The MTS has always been about empowering the next generation of tech leaders. This year, we’re excited to have Catholic Relief Services on board as a donor and supporter. Their commitment to community development and education aligns perfectly with our mission to drive digital transformation in Liberia. We encourage other international NGOs to join us in this initiative and support the development and empowerment of the youth and professionals in Liberia.”
The Monrovia Tech Summit 2024 is not just an event; it is a movement towards a digitally empowered Liberia. We call upon other international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) to join hands with us in this endeavor. Your support can make a significant impact on the lives of young Liberians, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
By supporting the Monrovia Tech Summit, INGOs can play a crucial role in nurturing talent, fostering innovation, and contributing to the socio-economic development of Liberia. Together, we can create a brighter future for our youth and professionals, ensuring that they are well-equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
The Monrovia Tech Summit 2024 promises to be an impactful event, bringing together a diverse group of participants, including tech enthusiasts, industry experts, and policymakers. With the support of CRS and other dedicated partners, we are confident that this year’s summit will be our most successful yet.
We invite all stakeholders, including INGOs, private sector companies, and government agencies, to support this important initiative. Your contribution will help us create a more inclusive and digitally literate society, empowering the next generation of Liberian tech leaders.
