The Executive Chairperson of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC), Cllr. Alexandra Kormah Zoe, has been re-elected Vice President of the Network of Anti-Corruption Institutions in West Africa (NACIWA), solidifying Liberia’s growing leadership role in regional anti-corruption efforts.
Her re-election was confirmed during the 7th Annual General Assembly (AGA) of NACIWA, held in Abuja, Nigeria, on October 15, 2025, where heads of anti-corruption institutions from all ECOWAS member states convened to review progress and chart new strategies for regional cooperation.

Cllr. Zoe’s continued tenure was unanimously endorsed by member institutions, acknowledging her “outstanding leadership, integrity, and commitment” to promoting transparency and accountability across the West African sub-region.
A major outcome of the Assembly was the ratification of the ECOWAS Guidelines on Borderless Investigations, Asset Tracing, Recovery, and Management, marking a new chapter in cross-border collaboration.
The newly adopted framework seeks to streamline cooperation among member states in tracking illicit assets, ensuring their recovery, and promoting mutual legal assistance between financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies.
In its final communiqué, the Assembly reaffirmed NACIWA’s commitment to the 2001 ECOWAS Protocol on the Fight against Corruption, the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), and the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AUCPCC).
Cllr. Zoe’s re-election is a significant achievement for Liberia, underscoring the country’s active role in shaping regional anti-corruption policy.
Under her leadership, the LACC has prioritized institutional reforms, accountability in governance, and international partnerships aimed at strengthening transparency in public service.
Speaking after her re-election, Cllr. Zoe pledged to continue advocating for cross-border collaboration and to ensure that the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission remains a key player in regional policy development.
“This re-election is not just a personal honor but a reflection of Liberia’s shared commitment to integrity and transparency across West Africa,” she said.
The Abuja Assembly coincided with the 50th Anniversary of ECOWAS, a symbolic moment that reinforced the bloc’s unity in combating corruption and illicit financial flows.
Delegates urged all member institutions to domesticate and operationalize the ECOWAS Protocol within their national legal frameworks to strengthen alignment with regional goals.
The gathering also called for stronger partnerships with civil society organizations, youth groups, and the media to deepen public participation and advocacy in the fight against corruption.
As NACIWA strengthens its institutional frameworks and partnerships, Cllr. Alexandra Zoe’s re-election positions Liberia at the forefront of efforts to harmonize anti-corruption strategies and ensure a borderless, united response to corruption in West Africa.
