Mr. Lawrence Randall

The Executive Director manages the day-to-day activities of the Liberia Media Center. He oversees the LMC’s overall program strategy and main direction. He works with the Board in drawing up annual and semi-annual financial and business plans and budgets of the Liberia Media Center.

Currently, the Executive Director manages a 19 member-staff, including 10 short-term contractors and 9 permanent staff members.

Previously the Senior Communication Officer of the National Commission on Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (NCDDR), under his leadership and direction, the LMC has rapidly developed into a vibrant media development support institution that has made concrete impact on the shape of the media landscape in the last few years.

Aside from the many activities and peer review the LMC has conducted, it has also been involved with a number of critical issues underpinning media development in the country and played a key role in raising awareness on the need for media development inclusion in the Poverty Reduction Strategy.

Conducting over a dozen small scale workshops and a multi-year community radio empowerment project, he has provided intellectual leadership in sourcing further support for media development, including accessing a number of new grant opportunities for the LMC.
