Monrovia – The British Embassy in Monrovia has commissioned series of training programs and media engagements for Liberian journalists. The proposed training encapsulates modules in digital security, regulatory frameworks and using the FOI to promote data-driven investigative reporting. Consistent with a grant agreement The Center for Media Studies and Peacebuilding, CEMESP is all set to implement the project entitled: Strengthening Media Freedom through an Enabling Media Regulatory Environment with direct funding from the Government of Great Britain through its Embassy in Monrovia. A number of school press clubs have also been earmarked for some form of capacity building training to engage them in effectively using social media Facebook platforms. Under this project which is expected to come to close early next year, the British embassy in Monrovia through its support to CEMESP is, therefore, buttressing efforts in media freedom both online and offline to contribute to healthy debates in consolidating the fragile democracy in Liberia.
