Learning never stops!

“Sometimes what we think we know isn’t quite the full story. I always believed Liberia’s elections were fixed on October 10, until I learned they are actually held on the second Tuesday in October, as provided in Article 83(a) of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia.”

From Counties to Leadership: Empowering Youth for Inclusive Democracy.

The Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) Liberia has launched the Sub-Regional Democracy School for Youth of Political Parties, bringing transformative political education closer to young political actors across the counties.

Through this sub-regional approach, the Democracy School creates a dynamic and inclusive platform for youth from diverse political parties to engage, learn, and collaborate across partisan lines.

More than a training, the Democracy School is a strategic platform for transformation, shifting youth political participation from short-term electoral mobilization to sustained engagement in decision-making within political parties and governance structures.

Across the counties, a new generation of youth leaders is rising, day one equipped, engaged, and ready to serve as drivers of democratic change.

The initiative is implemented under the Liberia Electoral Support Project (LESP), managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with UN Women and NIMD, with support from the European Union, Ireland, and Sweden.

When we come from there, we behave like the elders that we are. However, as you continue to monitor the legislature, ensure your monitoring extends to the implementation of the decisions it takes. Follow the paper trail of budgetary allocations”
