A pictorial from SCNL’s ongoing loan management training in Lukazu, Yondohun, and Vahun, Lofa County. The training is to empower participants/beneficiaries to increase their access and control over resources and use collective power to overcome social and financial barriers.

As a longstanding conservation partner in Gbarpolu County for more than a decade, SCNL has continued to work alongside the FDA and local communities to strengthen community forest governance, improve livelihoods, and promote sustainable natural resource management. Supporting the election reflects SCNL’s commitment to ensuring that community forest institutions remain functional, transparent, and legally recognized.
