young political leaders across Liberia are stepping up for democracy 🇱🇷

From 4–8 May 2026 in Gbarnga, B**g County, youth representatives from political parties nationwide came together for a powerful Sub-Regional Democracy School organized by the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD Liberia under the Liberia Electoral Support Project (LESP).

Over five days, participants strengthened their skills in:
✅ Democratic governance
✅ Peacebuilding & inclusive leadership
✅ Digital civic engagement
✅ Cross-party collaboration

It was more a movement than a training. A space where young leaders challenged the status quo, reflected on Liberia’s history, and committed to shaping a more inclusive future beyond election cycles.

📢 One key takeaway? A strong call for greater youth representation and the creation of a youth-led inter-party platform to promote dialogue, unity, and peaceful political participation.

The initiative forms part of broader efforts to promote inclusive political participation and strengthen democratic governance in Liberia.

The Liberia Electoral Support Project is managed by UNDP Liberia in partnership with UN Women Liberia and Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy NIMD Liberia with support from the European Union in Liberia, Irish Aid, and Embassy of Sweden in Monrovia.
