Orange Liberia Digital Center (ODC) has issued a report of its 2025 achievements, marking significant progress in digital skills training and innovation across Liberia. Delivering the report on January 30, 2026, in Monrovia, Zaza Mulbah, Senior Manager at Orange Digital Center (ODC), said the entity’s commitment to social investment and its mission is unwavering in empowering Liberians with the high-octane digital skills required to dominate the 21st-century economy. As one of 17 innovation hubs across the Middle East and Africa, he said ODC Liberia is more than a training center; it’s an incubator for the future.
According to him, the 2025 fiscal year was marked by explosive growth and exceptional operational efficiency, successfully transitioning from foundational development to national scale, consistently outperforming previous benchmarks, meeting the 2024 target of 2,750 beneficiaries, proving that the capacity for impact is expanding exponentially year by year. “We exceeded our 2025 goals, reaching 3,035 beneficiaries in 2025 alone, representing a 101.17% achievement rate against our annual target. During the year, the company doubled the training output, and the team executed 44 training sessions, surpassing the target of 21 by a staggering 209.52%,” he said.
Underscoring the momentum and consistency, Mulbah noted that September was dubbed the “Golden Month,” with a peak of 620 beneficiaries. Despite the typical early-year lull, the Center maintained high-velocity output, meeting or exceeding monthly targets in 50% of the fiscal year.
The Orange Liberia Digital Center Senior Manager said that all applications and programs were seamlessly integrated into the ‘Max It App’, ensuring every Liberian has a digital doorway to the services. The report also reflects huge female participation, leading to technical parity with an overall 36.74%, reaching a near-parity rate of 47% enrollment upon launching the second ODC club at Williams V.S. Tubman University.
He emphasized that Orange Liberia’s connectivity goes beyond technology; it is about connecting people to opportunity, dignity, and hope. Reflecting on 2025, a year themed “Charting a New Course,” Mulbah indicated that the entity has remained steadfast in its mission to drive inclusive, sustainable development across Liberia. “A strategic commitment, “Engage for Change,” was realized through four core priority areas: Digital Inclusion & Education, Health, Empowerment, and Culture & Sport. This pillar remains the cornerstone of our strategy to reduce regional disparities and foster innovation, receiving 59 applications and selecting 10 schools for a quality-focused intake. The expansion allows the company to achieve 100% national coverage, with a footprint now spanning all 15 counties,” he narrated.
He listed other important initiatives as follows:
Wologizi Computer Lab: In partnership with the Clar Weah Hope Foundation, the Center established a fully operational lab in Marshall, Margibi County. This facility, equipped with 13 desktop stations and digital learning tools, directly serves 200 girls, providing a dedicated space for distance education and digital literacy
WikiChallenge for African Schools: “JESCOR Learning Center was named our national winner. This initiative engaged students aged 9–13, resulting in a €2,500 grant and improved digital research skills for over 500 students. This year, our strategic commitment, “Engage for Change,” was realized through four core priority areas: Digital Inclusion & Education, Health, Empowerment, and Culture & Sports,” Mulbah revealed.
Education+Back to School: “We distributed 5,000 school kits across 26 Digital Schools in 7 counties to reduce the financial burden on households and improve student attendance. Women’s empowerment continues to promote economic independence and digital confidence through our initiatives,” he told the gathering.
According to him, as of today, over 400 women have benefited from structured training in literacy, numeracy, and digital skills, as well as social stability by integrating into Community Peace Huts, conducting sessions on peacebuilding and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence awareness.
