Monrovia - USAID-Liberia Accountability Voice Initiative (LAVI and the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Coalition has launched an information gathering report focused on the management and monitoring of the County Social Development Fund. A thorough desk review and validation workshop by the Natural Resource Management Coalition identified four thematic areas relating to the CSDF. According to the report, there were dissatisfactions expressed by citizens and civil society actors how the County Social Development Funds are implemented by counties administration. “Each of these CSOs in the Natural Resource Management Coalition with varying specialty reportedly implemented an information gathering activity at national and county levels from November to December 2016,” she said. She registered that the community-based research aided the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Coalition in identifying potential policy reforms to improve the management of the County Social Development Fund, which would inform their priority advocacy activities.
