Boakai ARREST governance and stabilization agenda 2024-present

LBR·2024 – present·Unity Party-led Rescue Mission government
Leaders: Joseph Nyuma Boakai (President, 2024-present) · Jeremiah Koung (Vice President) · Boima S. Kamara (Minister of Finance and Development Planning)

Doctrine — stated goals and content

Boakai's government framed the transition from the Weah administration as a rescue and repair agenda built around agriculture, roads, rule of law, education, sanitation, and tourism. The policy bundle pairs the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development with IMF-backed fiscal stabilization and a transitional-justice push through an executive office for war and economic crimes court preparation.
