Liberia: Democracy in Focus
Liberia Reels from US Aid Cuts
Coming up in this episode.
As Liberia comes to terms with us aid cuts, economists warn of lost jobs and public services with more aid cuts looming. Local NGO heads worry about the ripple effects as staff are laid off, scholarships end and drugs run out.
And…..the aid cuts situation also throws into jeopardy, Liberia’s much-heralded campaign to establish a war and economic crimes court.
Welcome to our program looking at the state of Liberian democracy. It’s a collaboration with FrontPage Africa with reporting from journalists in the New Narratives program.
Funding for this podcast comes from the Swedish embassy in Liberia and the American Jewish World Service. See more of our collaborations with media in West Africa at www.newnarratives.org
