Locally-based Volunteer to Support International Efforts in Developing Africa (VOSIEDA) with funding from Tropenbos International under the Green Livelihood Alliance (GLA) of Liberia yesterday commenced a two-day workshop on advocacy and effective engagement in the forest sector in Monrovia. The workshop, which began yesterday, brought together 22 participants from the non-governmental organization coalition, Community Forest Development Council, and representatives of youth and women’s groups to discuss effective advocacy and communications within the forest sector. The forum, held under the theme: “Advocacy and Engagement Training for Effective Forest Governance,” ends today. VOSIEDA was represented by Richard Hoff, the entity’s capacity-building expert. One such activity is to conduct capacity training for VOSIEDA and other non-state actors in effective forest monitoring.
