Today, the Safer Community Initiative of Liberia (SCIL) joined community leaders, stakeholders, and development partners in Monrovia, with focus on Bassa Point Community, Edina Settlement, Grand Bassa County, for a Project Validation Workshop aimed at advancing the establishment of a community-based ecotourism site.
The initiative seeks to create sustainable economic opportunities and deliver direct benefits to local residents by promoting environmental conservation, cultural heritage, and livelihood development. The proposed ecotourism project is expected to contribute significantly to improving the living conditions of the people of Bassa Point while preserving the community’s rich natural resources.
As part of the project's five key priorities and objectives, SCIL will serve as a strategic partner, providing technical guidance, stakeholder linkages, and implementation support throughout the project's lifecycle.
Speaking during the workshop, Austin J. Sieh Jr., Program Manager of SCIL, reaffirmed the organization's commitment to facilitating inclusive stakeholder engagement and providing the leadership and support necessary to ensure the project's success and long-term sustainability.
Also addressing participants, Madam Konah S. Kollie, Executive Director of WOFAM, expressed appreciation to SCIL for its partnership and commitment to supporting the aspirations of the people of Bassa Point Community. She emphasized that the project has the potential to contribute to improved access to safe drinking water, quality healthcare, better educational opportunities, safe transportation, and sustainable livelihoods for community members.
