The ZOA, an international non-governmental organization in Liberia, in collaboration with the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) over the weekend launched a three-year peace-building and reconciliation project through community dialogues. The projects intend to reconcile Liberians by addressing impunity and restoring civil trust among community residents. Peace Ambassador Reverend William R. Tolbert, III, who launched the project on behalf of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Varney Sirleaf, lauded ZOA, the YMCA and partners for such an initiative. “It is time to be together, time to encourage human security, increase freedom from violence, with women participation in political process…all these are things that prompted ZOA and partners to launch the project,” Tolbert said. She said the embassy started working on said initiatives since last year to support community-based therapy as part of the embassy’s work on human security in Liberia.
