The Fund for Peace Event
May 26, 2011
2.30pm - 4.00pm
Washington, D.C.

Lofa County is considered to be one of the Liberian counties most at risk of conflict, particularly given recent outbreaks of violence there in 2010. FfP staff recently held a workshop with local civil society organizations in Lofa County on the conflict landscape and how this may impact October’s presidential elections. The workshop was part of the UNLocK project, an initiative that brings together civil society organizations for better early warning of conflict. This briefing will summarize trends and pressures which local civil society emphasized as issues of concern and in need of greater attention, both from Lofa County and the country more broadly. Following the briefing there will be time for discussion on the contents of the briefing and Liberia’s electoral process as a whole.
