The upcoming 2025 West Africa Logistics Conference (WALC) is set to be hosted in Liberia for the first time, marking a step forward in efforts to enhance regional collaboration and logistics capabilities in West Africa.
The focus of the 2025 WALC will be on boosting interoperability, developing unified logistics strategies, and enhancing readiness to allow for prompt and effective responses to regional challenges.
Building upon the success of the 2024 WALC in Cameroon, this forthcoming event will provide a crucial platform for military and civilian leaders to tackle shared logistics challenges and operations across a wide range of situations.
Logistics is critical to all operations, particularly in a vast region like Africa. Key topics at the conference will include supply chain security, alignment of procedures, and sustainable procurement. There will be an emphasis on empowering African partners by strengthening the partnership network.
The choice of Liberia as cohost highlights its rising influence in regional security and commitment to stability and cooperation. Gratitude is extended to the Liberian partners for their efforts in preparing for this important event. In the lead-up to the conference, U.S. Africa Command anticipates close collaboration with the Armed Forces of Liberia and other West African partners to ensure a productive gathering.
The 2025 WALC will include panels, discussions led by partners, and practical exchanges aimed at sharing best practices, lessons learned, and collaboration opportunities. The goal is to strengthen the logistics frameworks that support collective security and humanitarian objectives, facilitating peace, stability, and prosperity throughout the region.
