My name is Raymond B. Ziama, a Liberian and I work for the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning of Liberia, as Assistant Director for NGO Coordination.  My work is to coordinate NGO activities, enhance government/NGO partnership and ensure NGOs’ development interventions are aligned with government’s development priorities, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Agenda for Transformation.  I have been in the Liberian civil service for at least 10 years now in responsible positions. Previously, I worked with international charities, for 5 years, first as Reintegration Program Supervisor for Child Fund-Liberia and Project Manager for Action Aid International-Liberia.  I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics and am a graduate student of Public Administration of the University of Liberia.
