Monrovia-The Female Journalists Association of Liberia has signed a $60,000Euros Subgrant to implement the 3years European Union in Liberia funded PEACEGEN Project across 5 counties in Liberia (Bong, Bomi, Montserrado, Nimba, Sinoe).
This initiative comes at the time Liberia is making progress towards transitional justice and accountability for peace through the submission of the bill for the establishment of the War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia.
A post on the institution’s social media page says that the signing ceremony at the famous WIPNET Peace Hut carries deep symbolic importance.
The Peace Hut stands as a reminder of the courage and resilience of Liberian women who mobilized for peace during the civil crisis and continues to serve as a beacon of hope, healing, and collective action for future generations.
FeJAL said it believes the partnership with KtK and the European Union demonstrates renewed confidence in local women-led organizations and the important role community media and civil society continue to play in preserving Liberia’s hard-earned peace.
Under this subgrant, FeJAL will drive the broader media capacity development and mirror community peace champions in telling the stories of peace.
During the signing ceremony, FeJAL president Lisa Diasay lauded Kvinna Till Kvinna (KTK) and other partners for the partnership and support from the onset of concept and proposal development to its actualized vision of grant signing.
Madam Diasay expressed FeJAL’s commitment to fostering peace through capacity development and storytelling.
