Wantoe Teah Wantoe is passionate about strengthening Liberia’s capacity to direct public resources toward policies and projects that ensure high returns on investments.

He is particularly interested in using public policy as an instrument to link a digital and mechanized agriculture system to the empowerment of women, youth and children. Wantoe believes that using public policy to engage young people with food production and the digital agriculture sector will develop skills, promote inclusion and increase commercialization in Liberia and Africa.

He is a Global Young Voices Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) World Cup Winner for his project on Environmental Preservation in Liberia. In 2019 he was awarded the Princess Diana Award. In June 2022, he was named one of eight ‘Young Pacesetters for African Development’ by the African Renaissance and Diaspora Network, awarded during the Africa Day celebrations at the United Nations Trustee Chambers. Furthermore, Wantoe is also a recipient of the College of Mount Saint Vincent’s Frédéric Ozanam Award and Vincent Depaul Award for contributions to students' consciousness and systemic change.

Wantoe's undergraduate studies and extensive experience in organisational management with advocacy years have informed his decision to pursue a Master of Public Policy.

He is confident he will be a valuable contributor to this programme, his country and the world. Wantoe Teah is a Public Service Scholar.
