Monrovia, Liberia; March 31, 2026: The European Union–funded Leh Go Green project has conducted a gender training workshop designed to empower women, youth, and marginalized groups in sustainable forest management across five counties. Held in Bopolu and Zwedru, the training underscores the project’s commitment to integrating gender equality into natural resource governance and community livelihoods. The Leh Go Green project focused on strengthening forest-based livelihoods and sustainable management in the Gola and Grebo-Krahn landscapes, recognizes women, youth, and vulnerable groups as crucial stakeholders. Our goal is to equip community members with the tools to not only identify these gaps but actively dismantle them, ensuring that forest management benefits are shared equitably,” said Chrystal-Angel Wardlow, Gender Specialist for the Leh Go Green project. The workshop convened 26 participants, including women and men forest users, youth representatives, and Community Forest Management Body (CFMB) members from Lofa, Grand Gedeh, Grand Cape Mount, Gbarpolu, and River Gee Counties.
