MONROVIA, Liberia – The Center for National Documents and Records Agency (CNDRA), also known as the National Archives of Liberia, has distributed Hunter motorbikes to county coordinators in a bid to strengthen the agency’s operations and improve service delivery across the country.
The motorbikes were procured through government budgetary support under the agency’s staff enhancement initiative, which is designed to improve the mobility of employees and enhance the effectiveness of operations, particularly in hard-to-reach communities.
The first batch of beneficiaries included county coordinators from Grand Gedeh, Lofa, Maryland, and River Gee Counties, who received the motorbikes during a handover ceremony held in Monrovia.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Chief of Staff to the Director General of the CNDRA, George Woodtor, said the acquisition of the motorbikes demonstrates the government’s commitment to strengthening public institutions by providing employees with the logistical support needed to perform their duties efficiently.
Woodtor explained that county coordinators play a critical role in safeguarding government records and preserving Liberia’s documentary heritage. He noted that many of the agency’s field officers operate in rural counties where transportation challenges often hinder their ability to effectively carry out inspections, monitor records management practices, and coordinate archival activities.
According to him, the motorbikes will significantly improve the movement of county coordinators, enabling them to reach remote communities more quickly and efficiently while ensuring that government records are properly managed and preserved.
He urged the beneficiaries to use the motorbikes responsibly and maintain them properly, emphasizing that the equipment is government property intended to improve public service delivery.
Receiving the motorbikes on behalf of the beneficiaries, the county coordinators expressed appreciation to the management of the CNDRA and the Government of Liberia for the support. They said the vehicles would ease transportation challenges and improve their ability to carry out field assignments and provide timely services in their respective counties.
The distribution forms part of the National Archives’ ongoing efforts to decentralize its operations, strengthen records management across Liberia, and ensure that historical and official government documents are properly preserved for future generations.
