Description
What is the public problem that the commitment will address?: Anonymous companies (companies of which the real owners are unknown) allow for corruption, tax avoidance, money laundering, drug trafficking and terrorist financing. This denies the Liberian government and people revenue that could be used to improve public services.; What is the commitment?: The commitment will develop a public register for beneficial ownership information. The development of the register will be instituted through implementing rules and procedures using open data standards.; How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem?: A public register showing who owns and controls overseas companies will deter the corrupt from using these as safe havens to invest their criminal proceeds. In doing so, it will signal the beginning of the end for a system of secrecy that facilitates and entrenches the corruption in Liberia.; Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values?: Beneficial ownership information is at the heart of the OGP- as it relates to the transparency of information that allows citizens to monitor the use of public and private resources.
