The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) has been honored with the 2025 Excellence Performance Award in recognition of its exceptional contribution to domestic revenue mobilization and public sector performance.
The award, conferred under the Government of Liberia’s Performance Management and Compliance System (PMCS), celebrates high-performing public institutions demonstrating strong commitment to efficiency, accountability, and results-driven service delivery.
President Joseph Boakai presented the prestigious honor on April 20, 2026, commending the LRA for its consistent performance, innovation, and leadership in strengthening the country’s revenue systems.
The recognition underscores the Authority’s sustained efforts to meet and exceed key performance targets, improve systems, and enhance operational efficiency across Liberia’s tax administration.
Under the leadership of Commissioner General James Dorbor Jallah, the LRA has undertaken major reforms aimed at boosting transparency and optimizing revenue collection processes. These reforms have significantly contributed to strengthening public financial management and supporting national development priorities.
In 2025, the Liberia Revenue Authority achieved a historic milestone in the country’s fiscal performance, generating approximately US$847.1 million in domestic revenue as of December 31. This exceeded the national target of US$804.6 million by US$42.4 million, marking the highest domestic revenue collection ever recorded in Liberia’s history.
The PMCS, a government-wide initiative, is designed to monitor institutional performance, promote efficiency, and ensure that public institutions remain accountable through measurable outcomes.
Speaking following the award ceremony, James Dorbor Jallah commended taxpayers for their vital commitment to tax compliance and nation-building.
He emphasized the importance of sustained tax contributions as a key driver in accelerating the implementation of Liberia’s development agenda.
Commissioner General Jallah also praised LRA staff for their dedication and professionalism, noting that the achievement reflects a collective institutional effort.
“This recognition is a proud reminder that hard work, accountability, and commitment to excellence do not go unnoticed. Congratulations to the entire team, this achievement belongs to you all.” He stated.
He further noted that the award goes beyond formal recognition, underscoring the unwavering commitment of LRA employees whose daily contributions continue to strengthen the institution and advance national development.
