- The People's Economy Movement (PEM), led by founder Crayton Oldman Duncan, has held a regional stakeholder meeting in Fish Town, bringing together representatives from Liberia's southeastern counties to discuss development, political participation, and regional cooperation.
The gathering, held over the weekend, attracted delegates and stakeholders from River Gee, River Cess, Sinoe, Maryland, Grand Gedeh, and other southeastern communities.
Organizers said the meeting focused on promoting unity among citizens of the southeast while developing a common vision for economic growth, infrastructure expansion, and youth empowerment.
Speaking at the event, Duncan stressed the importance of stronger collaboration among counties in the region and urged residents to work together to advance shared interests.
Participants also examined key challenges confronting the southeast, including poor road connectivity, limited access to quality education, gaps in healthcare delivery, agricultural constraints, and unemployment.
Discussions also focused on increasing community participation in public decision-making and ensuring that local voices are reflected in policies affecting regional development.
The Fish Town forum marks another outreach effort by the People's Economy Movement as it seeks to broaden engagement with communities across Liberia and build support around issues of economic inclusion and grassroots development.
