Naymote has released the one-year performance report of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. The institution recorded, tracked, and monitored 126 promises made during and after the 2023 campaign period, as outlined in the Unity Party’s manifesto, (the ARREST Agenda) and other promises were drawn from campaign rallies, speeches, policy statements, President Boakai’s visit to the Bomi County Community College on October 29, 2024, the 60th Anniversary celebrations of Bong, Grand Gedeh, Lofa, and Nimba, and the National Agriculture Fair in 2024, the 2024 State of the Nation Address (SONA), among others.

These promises were tracked under the six pillars of the ARREST Agenda:
Macroeconomic Stability and Infrastructural Development (72 promises), Health, WASH, Environment, and Climate Change (11 promises), Human Capacity Development (13 promises), Governance and Rule of Law (15 promises), Gender, Youth, Children, and Social Protection (10 promises), Fight Against Corruption (5 promises).

In terms of investment, the government has made significant progress under Pillar 1 (Macroeconomic Stability & Infrastructural Development), with 72 promises tracked—45 of which are ongoing. Agriculture has performed well under this pillar, with one promise completed and 11 ongoing out of 14 promises made. The economy follows closely with 9 promises ongoing out of 11 made.

Under Pillar 2 (Health, WASH, Environment, and Climate Change), health performed well with 7 promises ongoing out of 8, while Environment and Climate Change showed 2 promises ongoing out of 2, other pillars have had limited impact. Overall, of the 126 promises tracked, 5 are completed, 80 are ongoing, 22 have not started, and 19 could not be rated due to a lack of information available to assess their status.

This report provides a critical look at the performance of the government in fulfilling its promises. It provides analysis of activities under promises tracked, key findings and highlights recommendations for areas needing further attention and improvement.

The President Meter (BoakaiMeter) Project is a pioneering democratic monitoring tool designed to track and report on the promises made by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr and the Unity Party-led government during and after the 2023 elections. This initiative seeks to establish a transparent channel for public accountability by generating and disseminating timely, credible information about the President’s performance against his campaign and post-election commitments. In doing so, the project not only informs the citizenry but also provides a benchmark against which government programs and policies can be evaluated and improved in line with citizens’ demands and expectations.
