Boakai Completes Only 12 Promises NAYMOTE Meter Finds 3.1 Percent Completion

MONROVIA – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s development agenda has a delivery problem. NAYMOTE’s latest President Meter finds just 12 of 385 tracked interventions completed. That is a completion rate of 3.1 percent after 21 months of monitoring. Another 213, or 55.3 percent, are ongoing, with no timelines for completion. Fifty-seven have not even started. A further 103 could not be rated for lack of evidence. That last figure matters most for accountability. A government that cannot document its own work invites doubt about all of it. Human Capital Development, the pillar citizens feel most directly, ranks last among six pillars, as THE ANALYST reports

Twenty-one months into President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s five-year ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID), the government has completed just 12 of the 385 development promise interventions it is being monitored on, a completion rate of 3.1 percent, according to the latest President Meter Report from NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development (NAYMOTE).

The findings describe an administration that has started a great deal and finished very little.

Presenting its “2026 President Meter Report” on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, NAYMOTE Executive Director Eddie Jarwolo said that of the 385 interventions tracked between January 2025 and September 2026, 213 (55.3 percent) are still ongoing, and the report offers no indication of when they will be done.

According to the NAYMOTE findings, another 57 interventions (14.8 percent) have not started at all, even though the monitoring period has run for almost two years.

Idle or Unverifiable

The report’s most troubling number may be the 103 interventions (26.8 percent) that could not be rated because there was not enough evidence to show what, if anything, had happened.

Combined with the 57 that have not begun, 160 of 385 commitments, about 42 percent, are either idle or impossible to verify.

Put differently, only about 3 percent of the agenda can be confirmed as delivered. For a government that presents the AAID as a roadmap for national development, the inability to produce evidence of its own work is a serious accountability gap.

 If progress cannot be demonstrated, citizens have little reason to believe it is happening.

A Pipeline That Doesn’t Empty

NAYMOTE said the findings raise concerns about the government’s ability to move its many ongoing interventions from implementation to completion and, ultimately, to deliver measurable improvements in people’s lives.

The arithmetic is unforgiving. Twelve completions over 21 months works out to roughly one every seven or eight weeks.

At that pace, clearing the 213 interventions now underway would take decades, before counting the 57 that have not started.

This is a simple extrapolation, not a projection from the report, but it shows how far the current rate of completion is from the scale of the promises.

Even the Leader Falls Short

Among the six AAID pillars, Infrastructure Development recorded the highest activation rate at 67.3 percent, which still leaves roughly a third of its interventions unactivated.

The rest of the ranking is Governance and Anti-Corruption, 63.7 percent; Environmental Sustainability, 63.3 percent; Rule of Law, 60 percent; Economic Transformation, 55.4 percent; and Human Capital Development, 53.1 percent.

Human Capital Development, which covers the services citizens feel most directly in daily life, ranks last. Economic Transformation, central to any promise of inclusive growth, sits second from the bottom.

The gap of more than 14 points between the top and bottom pillars suggests uneven attention across the agenda, with some priorities moving while others lag. Governance and Anti-Corruption, at 63.7 percent, is also far from a strong showing for the pillar meant to set the standard for how the government conducts itself.

The Accountability Test

NAYMOTE says the President Meter is designed to give citizens, policymakers, development partners and civil society organizations evidence-based information to track government commitments and assess implementation.

The organization says it also aims to identify gaps in delivery and strengthen public accountability.

After 21 months of monitoring, those gaps are now visible. Whether the government responds with faster completion, better documentation of its work, and clear timelines for the interventions still waiting to begin will determine whether the AAID is remembered as a plan that delivered or one that mostly stayed in progress.
