    LibeRIA BULLETIN Bimonthly published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - Liberia 1 October 2004 Vol. 1, Issue No. 4 Voluntary Repatriation Started October 1, 2004 The inaugural convoys of 77 Liberian refugees from Sierra Leone and 97 from Ghana arrived to Liberia on October 1, 2004, which marked the commencement of the UNHCR voluntary repatriation. Only two weeks prior to the beginning of the repatriation, the County Resettlement Assessment Committee (CRAC) pro- claimed four counties safe for return – Grand Cape Mount, Bomi, Gbarpolu and Margibi. The first group of refugees from Sierra Leone is returning to their homes in Grand Cape Mount. UNHCR is only facilitating re- turns to safe areas. Upon arrival, returnees have the option to spend a couple of nights in transit centers (TC) before returning to their areas of origin. At the TC, they received water, cooked meals, health care, as well as a two-months resettlement ration and a Non- Signing of Tripartite Agreement with Guinea Food Items (NFI) package. With the signing of the Tripartite Agreements, which took place in Accra, Ghana, on September 22, 2004 with the Ghanian government and in Monrovia, Liberia, on September 27, 2004 with the governments of Si- erra Leone, Guinea and Cote d’Ivorie, binding agree- ment has been established between UNHCR, asylum countries and Liberia. WFP and UNHCR held a regional meeting on Septem- ber 27, 2004 in Monrovia and discussed repatriation plans for Liberian refugees and IDPs. WFP explained that despite the current food pipeline constraints, the repatriation of refugees remains a priority for the Country Office.

  • Natural Capital Mapping and Accounting in Liberia: Understanding the Contribution of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services to Liberia’S Sustainable Development
    Authors/analysts: Rachel Neugarten, Mahbubul Alam, Natalia Acero Martinez, Miroslav Honzak, Daniel Juhn, Kellee Koenig, Trond Larsen, Kevin Moull, Ana Maria Rodriguez, Timothy Max Wright Contributions from: Liam Walsh, Jessica Donovan, Peter Mulbah, Jim Valenza, Kim Reuter, Rosimeiry Portela, Tim Noviello, Shelly Wade, David Hole, Manuel Peralvo, Jess Silver, and Jessica Junker Acknowledgements: This project was funded by a generous gift from Gordon and Betty Moore. We are grateful for the support and expertise provided by our collaborators at the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia, Jeremiah Sokan and Anyaa Vohiri and for the support from the Gaborone Declaration for Sustainability in Africa (GDSA) Secretariat, and from the Natural Capital Project. Data provided by Liberia’s Forestry Development Authority (FDA), Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Services (LISGIS), and Liberian Hydrological Services (LHS), the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation is gratefully acknowledged. 1 “Natural capital –our ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources– underpins economies, societies and individual well-being. The values of its myriad benefits are, however, often overlooked or poorly understood. They are rarely taken fully into account through economic signals in markets, or in day-to- day decisions by business and citizens, nor indeed reflected adequately in the accounts of society. The steady loss of forests, soils, wetlands and coral reefs is closely tied to this economic invisibility. So, too, are the losses of species and of productive assets like fisheries, driven partly by ignoring values beyond the immediate and private” - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia, at the Summit for Sustainability in Africa, Botswana, 2012 Suggested citation: Conservation International.

  • Land Commission Consultations
    Republic of Liberia REPORT 2010 Land Commission Consultations Land Commission Consultations 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was compiled and written by the Program Staff of the Technical Secretariat of the Land Commission (LC) under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Stanley N. Toe, Land Policy and Program Development Officer. The Technical Secretariat extends its profound appreciation and gratitude to Chairman Brandy and other Commissioners of the LC for their unflinching support to this undertaking from the inception stage to the conclusion. We also acknowledge with thanks, the vital role played by Mrs. Guglielma da Passano, UN-Habitat Technical Advisor to the Land Commission in providing editorial guidance and useful feed- back during the entire exercise. An array of individuals and institutions also contributed immensely to the successful conduct of the county meetings. We hereby mention some of their names in recognition of their contributions in the form of financial and logistical support: the Minister and staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), superintendents and local officials of the counties, our international partners in particular, the UN-Habitat for providing the funding and logistical support for these consultative meetings. Also, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) for logistical and related support during the consultative meetings in Nimba, Bong and Lofa Counties respectively and the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL). Finally, to the participants from the various counties, normally unheralded and acknowledged in matters such as this, we say in the proverbial Liberian jargon ‘thank you yah’ for taking time off your engaging schedules to honor our invitation to participate in these meetings.
