The Liberia Land Authority (LLA) with support from the Swedish Government through the Inclusive Land Administration and Management Project (ILAMP) being implemented by Lantmätariet of Sweden, will on Thursday, March 23rd, 2023 officially launch its County Land Office (CLOs) in Gbarnga City, Bong County.

The Liberia Land Authority (LLA) was established by an Act of the Legislature in October 2016, thus consolidating all land related functions previously performed by key land administration agencies, such as the Department of Lands, Survey and Cartography (DLSC) under the former Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy, and the Deed and Title Registry of the Center for National Document Record Agency (CNDRA).

Section 45.1 and Section 6.2 of the LLA Act mandates the LLA to administer the affairs of the Authorities and establish County Land Offices (CLOs) necessary for the proper conduct of business across the fifteen subdivision of the Republic of Liberia.

However, in fulfilment of the Government of Liberia (GoL) decentralization policy (taking efficient and effective service delivery to the people), the LLA received support from the just ended World Bank supported Liberia Land Administration Project (LLAP) to renovate five (5) offices in Bomi, Grand Bassa, Grand Gedeh, Bong and Lofa Counties, respectively. The renovation of the five offices is to help strengthen the services of the LLA in the five selected counties in other to meet the public quest to obtain good land service and delivery.

Further, at the end of the renovation of the five county land offices, the Government of Sweden through the Inclusive Land Administration and Management Project (ILAMP) which is being implemented by Lantmätariet, the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority, has provided support for the electrification, furnishing, equipping and training of LLA staff within the five selected counties to provide efficient and effective land service delivery to the public.

The one-day event which is expected to commence Thursday, March 23rd, 2023, brings together members of foreign diplomatic missions to Liberia, delegation from the World Bank and UNDP, donors and partners, heads of government ministries and agencies, members of the Bong County Legislative Caucus, Senators, local county authorities, representatives of CSOs working in Bong County, representatives from Lantmätariet and ILAMP, traditional leaders, women and youth groups in Bong County, amongst others.

The delegation of the LLA which is comprised of members of the Board of Commissioners, Executive Director, Senior Management and technical staff is being headed by the LLA Chairman, Hon. Atty. J. Adams Manobah, Sr.

The objectives are: 1) To mark the official opening of one of the five newly renovated and furnished County Land Office in Gbarnga, Bong County and, 2) To demonstrate the government’s commitment toward decentralizing land services throughout the country.
