MONROVIA, LIBERIA โ Yesterday, Eco Climate Initiative proudly participated in the Knowledge Exchange, Share Lessons, and Capacity Building Workshop organized by the newly established Ministry of Local Government and fully funded by the United Nations Capital Development Fund.
Representing ECI at the high-level engagement was our Program Director, Ms. Barcralyn T. Bundor, who joined local government officials, development partners, civil society organizations, and technical institutions in advancing discussions around decentralization, local governance, climate resilience, and sustainable county development in Liberia.
The workshop brought together County Superintendents, County Development Officers, County Finance Officers, and representatives from several national institutions, including the Environmental Protection Agency, Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, and the Governance Commission. The engagement served as an important platform for strengthening collaboration, sharing experiences, and building the capacity of local leaders to effectively manage resources and promote inclusive development at the county level.
A major highlight of the workshop was the emphasis placed on environmental sustainability and regional collaboration. Participants discussed the importance of integrating climate resilience, environmental protection, and transparent governance into local development planning and implementation processes.
ECI commends the United Nations Capital Development Fund and the Ministry of Local Government for convening such a timely and impactful initiative that aligns with Liberiaโs decentralization agenda and sustainable development priorities.
As an environmental and climate-focused organization, ECI remains committed to contributing to national and local efforts that promote resilient communities, strengthen local governance systems, and empower citizens through climate action and sustainable development initiatives.
