Klay, Bomi County – Community Based Organizations and Women Rights Groups in Bomi County have received training in gender inclusion in forest governance and land matters. The training was conducted by Rural Integrated Center for Community Empowerment (RICCE) under the Green Livelihood Alliance-GLA 2.0 program (“Forests for a Just Future.”) on August 17, 2021. Murpha Fully, Chairlady of Klay District Rural Women complained about limited capacity for grassroots rights based advocacy organizations championing the rights of women and ordinary citizens in rural communities.
