The Center for Justice and Peace Studies (CJPS), in collaboration with the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), has commenced a series of stakeholder engagements in Fantee Town, New Matadi, aimed at increasing community participation in the fight against the spread and consumption of illicit drugs and other harmful substances.

The engagement brought together community leaders and stakeholders to discuss and propose strategies for strengthening local efforts to combat the proliferation and use of illicit drugs. The initiative forms part of a broader series of activities supported by the Civil Peace Service (CPS) and implemented by the Center for Justice and Peace Studies.

During the discussions, participants expressed their commitment to supporting efforts to curb the spread and use of illicit drugs within their communities, pledging to uphold confidentiality measures to ensure that citizens feel safe and secured when sharing information and intelligence with the LDEA.

In May 2026, the Center for Justice and Peace Studies (CJPS) and the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen collaboration in addressing drug-related challenges across Liberia.

The agreement aims to enhance public awareness and encourage citizens to take action against the spread and consumption of illicit drugs in their communities, strengthen accountability and compliance among LDEA officers, and advocate for increased support for efforts to combat drug proliferation and substance abuse in Liberia.
