Monrovia, Liberia – The Liberia Chamber of Commerce (LCC) extends its congratulations to H.E. President Joseph Nyuma Borkai, Sr., Government of Liberia, Mansa Resources Limited, its investment partners, and all stakeholders involved in advancing the Dugbe Gold Project toward implementation.
The investment represents an important milestone for Liberia’s mining sector and a strong signal of investor confidence in the country’s economic potential. The project has the potential to create jobs, strengthen workforce skills, and generate new opportunities for Liberian businesses across multiple sectors.
The Chamber is particularly encouraged by the project’s emphasis on local content, workforce training, and engagement with Liberian suppliers. Experience around the world has demonstrated that the long-term impact of major investments is maximized when local enterprises are meaningfully integrated into project supply chains and supported in building the capabilities needed to compete successfully.
The development of the Dugbe Gold Project presents opportunities for Liberian businesses in areas such as transportation and logistics, construction and maintenance services, catering and hospitality, security services, equipment servicing, information and communications technology, professional services, workforce development, and other supporting industries. Ensuring that Liberian businesses are prepared to participate in these opportunities will be critical to maximizing the project’s economic impact.
As Liberia continues to attract large-scale investments across the mining, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure sectors, the Chamber encourages continued collaboration among government institutions, investors, development partners, business associations, and the private sector to strengthen local supplier participation. Early engagement with Liberian businesses can help identify capacity gaps, communicate procurement requirements, and create pathways for local enterprises to meet industry standards and compete effectively.
The Chamber is encouraged by the growing national focus on local content, supplier development, and enterprise competitiveness. In this connection the Chamber congratulates the Government led by the Governance Commission on the successful holding of the validation of the local content policy (incert date of workshop) and encourages speedy cabinet endorsement. The LCC is honored to remain a continued part of this process.
The Dugbe Gold Project presents opportunities for Liberian businesses across transportation, construction, hospitality, security, ICT, professional services, and workforce development. Maximizing these opportunities will require continued collaboration among government, investors, development partners, business associations, and the private sector to ensure local businesses understand procurement requirements and are equipped to meet industry standards.
The Liberia Chamber of Commerce looks forward to working alongside stakeholders to support efforts that expand opportunities for Liberian enterprises and strengthen local participation in major investments. The Chamber remains committed to promoting responsible investment, private sector growth, and sustainable economic development that delivers lasting benefits for Liberian businesses and communities.
