India offers Liberia 140 training slots
Liberian professionals will receive fully funded training in various disciplines for the 2026-2027 financial year.
India has allocated 140 professional training opportunities to Liberia for the 2026-2027 financial year through its Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) program. Indian Ambassador Manoj Bihari Verma announced this in Monrovia during the ITEC Day celebration. Approximately 600 Liberian professionals have previously benefited from these training programs.
The demand for training was high, with Liberia's initial 70 slots for 2025-2026 exhausted within six months, leading India to add 86 more slots. ITEC, established in 1964, offers fully funded training to developing countries, providing nearly 10,000 opportunities annually to over 160 nations. Deputy Foreign Minister Cllr. Jeddi Mowbray Armah thanked India for its investment in Liberia's human resource development.
This year, 24 Liberian students also received scholarships from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), including 20 for master's and doctoral studies. Specialized training has been provided to mining officers in occupational health and safety and to healthcare workers in nursing leadership. Personnel from the police, immigration, drug enforcement, revenue authority, and other government bodies have also participated.
