Details:

With support from RRI’s SRM, SESDev assembled a team to lead the investigation into the issuance of title by the Liberia Land Authority (LLA) in Western Liberia and conducted the investigation in four counties. Preliminarily results showed that the LLA converted tribal certificates into deeds but the process of validating regulations pertaining to tribal certificates is not yet complete. This is a sign that there are possible violations of laws and community rights going on right now on their lands. The action will lead to formal recommendations to correct violations and restore community rights.
