OUR STRUCTURE
The LBBF is led by a Governing Board, which oversees the content and operation of the forum. The Board is co-chaired by a public and private sector representative. The five Working Groups are comprised of public and private sector sector participants along with representatives of civil society and academia. Each is co-chaired by a private and public sector representative and meets r
egularly. The Secretariat provides administrative and technical support to the dialogue process by facilitating meetings, conducting research, and implementing advocacy and communications strategies. THE FORUM
The public and private sectors share in the leadership and membership of all entities established within the LBBF including the Governing Board and Working Groups. Discussions are focused on issues which directly or indirectly impact the development of the private sector in Liberia, and the climate for doing business and investment. The selected issues considered are to be based on evidence and data to increase understanding of the problem, possible solutions, and their impact. Private sector representatives ensure that the issues it brings to the LBBF’s attention reflect the genuine needs of its business members. The public sector ensures that issues and reforms presented within the LBBF are raised as part of broader government discussions and reforms endorsed by the forum’s Governing Board and implemented are monitored over time. The LBBF regularly informs external audiences about its activities, recommendations, and reforms implemented.
