PAP Ideology
The People’s Action Party (PAP) espouses a people-centered, pragmatic, and merit-based social democratic ideology rooted in national development, good governance, and accountable leadership.

Throughout its ongoing work, PAP-Liberia remains committed to combining social responsibility with economic dynamism—ensuring that while markets remain free and competitive, the benefits of growth are shared equitably among all Liberians.
