Gbarnga, Bong County, April 2, 2026 — The Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) has officially launched its Democracy School for Youth Wings of Political Parties, a capacity-building programme designed to strengthen youth leadership, promote democratic values, and enhance inclusive political participation across Liberia. From 23 to 27 March 2026, the first cohort comprising 24 young leaders from more than a dozen political parties, completed a weeklong intensive training in Gbarnga, Bong County. The programme equipped participants with knowledge and practical skills in constitutional democracy, civic engagement, ethical leadership, youth and gender in politics, and digital political participation. “This Democracy School is designed to help you rethink leadership, internalize the lessons and apply them to build a political culture rooted in ethics, inclusion, and accountability,” said Oscar Bloh. The Democracy School forms part of NIMD Liberia’s broader efforts to advance inclusive political participation and democratic governance.
