INTORDUCTION TO LYPAD






LYPAD in Peace-Building


Firstly let’s know what Peace Building is.

Peace-building is a process that facilitates the establishment of durable peace and tries to prevent the recurrence of violence by addressing root causes and effects of conflict through reconciliation, institution building, and political as well as economic transformation.

What LYPAD does?
·         We advocate on issues that undermines peace and stability within our country Liberia.
Eg. (Land conflict, religious discrimination, youth empowerment, equitable distribution of state resources, etc).
Also advocate for Government to create policies or implement those various laws or policies that are made so as to calm down those problems mentioned.

·         We organize programs and projects that deals with those corrupt elements that emasculates peace and stability in Liberia.
Eg. (Organizing skills training workshops for vulnerable youths like Drug devotees, Orphans, Disable, Girls, etc.
Also organizing changing minds and attitudes programs to help eradicate some notions the people have like Mandingo people not citizens, Krahn man like war, etc.
