Liberia to Lead ECOWAS Agricultural Transformation as African Diaspora Collective Launches Nationalization Mission

The African Diaspora Collective Worldwide (TADC) is spearheading a new era of agricultural transformation in Liberia as Ambassador H.E. Davisha L. Johnson arrives in-country for a historic nationalization mission under Project 2040. This flagship initiative connects Africa’s farmlands with global investment and diaspora innovation through the Fight for 15 Global Compact.

From 7–14 November 2025, Ambassador Johnson and her team will embark on a high-level delegation tour across seven counties—Grand Gedeh, Bong, Margibi, Montserrado, Grand Bassa, Nimba, and Lofa—as part of an agenda to make Liberia the first African nation to nationalize Project 2040.

Hosted by Taking Poverty Out of Liberia (TPOL), the mission aligns with President Joseph Boakai’s ARREST Agenda—advancing Agriculture, Roads, Rule of Law, Education, Sanitation, and Tourism—by accelerating food security, job creation, and rural prosperity through climate-smart agribusiness initiatives.

“Liberia is ready to lead,” said Ambassador Davisha L. Johnson, Founder of the African Embassy, Head of TADC, and President of the Cooperative Executive Management Team (CEMT).

“Our goal is to connect smallholder farmers, cooperatives, universities, government, and the private sector under one unified vision—to ‘Re-Brand the Black farmer’ and position Liberia as a model of agricultural excellence for the ECOWAS region.”

Engaging Stakeholders Across the Country

The delegation will meet with smallholder farmers and cooperatives, including Pulufegai Farmers Cooperative, Addison Gayflowu & Son Farm Cooperative, Henries Farm, GADEN, Makolah Agro Enterprise, and TAG Inc., as well as government ministries and national institutions such as the National Organization for Disease Control and Prevention (NODICOP) and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

In Grand Gedeh County, discussions with the Superintendent, Grand Gedeh University, and the Ministry of Agriculture will explore how Project 2040’s One Hectare Sustainable Farms (OHSF) model can integrate into national frameworks, promoting youth training, agribusiness innovation, and sustainable livelihoods.

Project 2040 Pilot Hub in Bong County

Bong County is set to become the national pilot hub for all 12 integrated farming models under Project 2040. These models combine crops, livestock, aquaculture, processing, tourism, and carbon credit development, creating a blueprint for national rollout. Local farmlands, schools, and even military bases will be transformed into centers of innovation and national pride.

Through these initiatives, Liberia aims to achieve agricultural self-reliance, attract private investment and diaspora capital, create thousands of jobs, and restore the dignity and wealth of African farmers worldwide.

With 125 farms already registered globally and successful pilot projects in Ghana and Nigeria, TADC is expanding Project 2040 to Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, building a united agricultural economy across the ECOWAS region.

Farmers, cooperatives, and investors worldwide are encouraged to join the initiative by registering at www.coopexecutives.com and participate in this historic transformation.

“This is bigger than farming,” Ambassador Johnson emphasized.
“It’s about ownership, empowerment, and rewriting the global story of African excellence through agriculture.”
