It also provided an opportunity to review existing cooperation between both institutions and outline next steps for joint initiatives involving persons with disabilities (PWDs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the meeting, Vines shared that the Alliance is working on a five-year strategic plan aimed at guiding its activities over the coming years. The document is expected to define priority areas such as economic inclusion, access to opportunities and institutional representation for PWDs. She noted that collaboration with state-backed institutions like the NLA is necessary for implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representing the Authority, Chief of Staff <strong>Roger B. Abim-Karmon Sr<\/strong>. reiterated that support for PWDs remains part of the regulator\u2019s mandate. He confirmed that the NLA will continue to fund and collaborate on programmes coordinated through the Alliance, which acts as a central body for multiple disability organisations in Liberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting also addressed operational coordination, including how future projects will be structured, monitored and reported. Both parties agreed to maintain regular engagement and align activities with measurable outcomes tied to the Alliance\u2019s strategic plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process will move forward with the formal presentation of the Alliance\u2019s strategic plan and the identification of specific programmes for joint execution. The Authority said the partnership aligns with its statutory mandate to direct part of gaming revenues towards social causes, including assistance for vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/03\/LONAGUI-JC--300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/guineas-national-lottery-receives-certificate-of-satisfaction-for-social-impact-project'>Guinea\u2019s National Lottery receives certificate of satisfaction for social impact project<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both parties agreed to maintain regular engagement and align activities with measurable outcomes tied to the Alliance\u2019s strategic plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2395,"featured_media":21059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The National Lottery Authority (NLA) of Liberia has reaffirmed its commitment to a strategic partnership with the Alliance on Disability, pledging continued financial and operational support for initiatives benefiting persons with disabilities.
