International Organizations in Liberia Must Employ Liberians to restore Liberia

Marjanne Baker (216.213.227.3) -

I am professional Liberian educator with over 10 years experience in teaching and management at the local, national and international level.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education and History and an MBA in Global Studies. I have worked in Kenya and Benin with the International Foundation for Education and Self Help on various pilot programs relating to sustainable growth and development at the grassroots level.

I presently operate a nongovernmental organization where our focus is on self-help inititatives in areas of agriculture, technical and vocational training primarily to those traumatized by the war, women and children.

I organized several successful fundraising initiatives totalling over 2 million dollars to aid Mrs. Jewel Howard Taylor in her National Family Development projects in 1998. Our organization sent computers, educational and medical equipment and supplies to Liberia that were used at JFK, MCSS and LU.

I was in Liberia for 6 months in 2005 after leaving in 1999 when the conflicts were beginning to escalate. To my utter dismay most of the management positions by the UN and other international entities were operated by foreigners. The recruitment specialist at the UN office whose name I will not mention was a Sierra Leonean and his wife was also in another manangement position at the branch in Congo Town.

He was in fact quite unprofessional in dealing with me when he realized I was a Liberian living in the US and very passionate about returning home and being a part of the restoration process. He went on to further snub me and then said Liberians are not holding most of the management positions because we have quack degrees from quack universities.

I left feeling quite insulted and desturbed about this.

I also found out that the jobs that most Liberians who worked for UN - Liberia were given laborer jobs almost immediately.

I later visited another UN agency in Sinkor and was again snubbed at the gates by the security officers who would not permit me to enter even after I mentioned I was in search of job opportunities in Liberia and needed to speak with someone. I left after almost an hour discussions with the officers at the gate who were obviously petrified to allow me in when all I needed to do was make inquiries about international job vacancies and knew noone in order to make prior appointment.

Liberians should not tolerate this gross abuse and mockery of ourselves. We have come too far to go back into slavery.

Africa must Unite!
