On 5 August 2022 the President of Liberia George Weah signed into law a series of bills. The official Facebook page of the Liberia Presidency and government websites describe the measures as a spur to national inclusiveness and to fight corruption. Amongst the bills signed is “an Act to Establish the Liberia Standards Authority.” 

Stephen Mambu, Codex Contact Point for Liberia said, “Liberia now has a national standardization body known as the Liberia Standards Authority (LiSA). As part of this legislation, the Codex Contact Point is to be housed within LiSA. This is a milestone for standardization in Liberia that will definitely impact Codex and food safety in Liberia.”

Countries throughout the region congratulated the work of Liberia and the Contact Point in what they described as an important moment for the country and food safety.
