The move signals an ambitious push to institutionalize a culture of accountability at Liberia’s national umbrella organization for young people
MONROVIA, LIBERIA: In a bold move that puts financial accountability at the center of youth leadership, Federation of Liberian Youth (FLY) President Ernest Duku. Jallah has formally petitioned Liberia’s General Auditing Commission (GAC) and Internal Audit Agency (IAA) to facilitate an independent audit of all public funds, grants, and government-supported projects received or implemented by the Federation during the first year of his presidency.
The move signals an ambitious push to institutionalize a culture of accountability at Liberia’s national umbrella organization for young people, placing public resources under independent scrutiny while seeking to build stronger financial management systems for the future.
Rather than limiting the exercise to a single government grant, Jallah’s request seeks a comprehensive accounting of public resources entrusted to FLY during 2026, including government grants, direct financial support, project funding, and other forms of public assistance.
The proposed audit would examine the funds received, their approved purposes, expenditures incurred, supporting documentation, procurement and payment records where applicable, project implementation, and any outstanding balances requiring reconciliation.
But the initiative goes beyond examining the books. Jallah is also seeking technical guidance and institutional support to strengthen FLY’s financial controls, reporting procedures, documentation, and compliance systems, making accountability a lasting feature of the Federation’s governance.
FLY is already engaging with the GAC on strengthening its financial management framework, while the formal requests to both oversight institutions seek to establish the appropriate arrangements for independent scrutiny in accordance with their respective mandates.
The initiative advances a consequential principle for youth leadership in Liberia: organizations that demand accountability from government must also be prepared to demonstrate accountability within their own institutions.
For Jallah, the effort places institutional credibility alongside youth advocacy, employment, education, and political participation as essential components of FLY’s national mission. An organization seeking to influence public policy and represent millions of young people must be able to demonstrate that it takes the stewardship of public resources seriously.
When implemented, the exercise will help establish a clearer financial record of public resources entrusted to FLY, identify areas requiring improvement, and strengthen the systems through which the Federation accounts to its members, funding institutions, and the Liberian public.
The message is unmistakable: youth leadership must mean more than occupying positions of influence. It must mean building institutions capable of withstanding scrutiny, accounting for public resources, and earning public trust through demonstrable action.
