NaFAA would also like to state for the fact, it does not have any discretional authority on disbursement of funds or award of contracts. NaFAA further clarify, that it is not the custodian of the World Bank funds; and so it is not at its disposal rather NaFAA is the implementing entity, ensuring that the programs implemented are in accordance with the Project Appraisal Documents (PADs) which are reflection of the institution’s underling objectives as well as the Pro Poor Agenda for Development and Prosperity (PAPD).
The NaFAA press release added that it would like to urge all media personnel or groups spewing negative information or propaganda on its hard earned reputation, to firstly, always seek clarification from the institution before going public which is a part of responsible journalism.
NaFAA over the years, the release noted has worked tirelessly to build its reputation thus attracting international confidence and recognition for the good of Liberia.
