MONROVIA — The Female Journalists Association of Liberia (FeJAL) is expected to officially sign a €60,000 sub-grant agreement Monday with the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation (KtK) under the European Union-funded PEACEGEN Liberia Project aimed at advancing transitional justice, peacebuilding and community reconciliation across Liberia.
The signing ceremony will take place at the historic WIPNET Peace Hut gathering point at Invincible Park in Monrovia — a location widely recognized for its symbolic role in Liberia’s women-led peace movement during the civil war.
The agreement marks a major milestone for FeJAL and Liberia’s broader peacebuilding community as the country continues efforts toward transitional justice, accountability, healing and inclusive reconciliation following years of civil conflict.
According to FeJAL, the PEACEGEN Liberia initiative seeks to strengthen the meaningful participation and leadership of women and youth in peacebuilding, conflict prevention, decision-making and transitional justice processes at both local and national levels.
Through the project, FeJAL will support community-based peacebuilding and memorialization activities across five counties — Bomi, Bong, Montserrado, Nimba and Sinoe.
The organization said the initiative recognizes the critical role women, youth and the media continue to play in sustaining peace and promoting reconciliation in post-conflict communities.
As part of its implementation responsibilities, FeJAL will facilitate creative workshops, document intergenerational peace initiatives through photography, map independent media institutions and train radio stations on youth-responsive, gender-sensitive and conflict-sensitive reporting.
The activities are intended to strengthen public awareness, encourage inclusive dialogue and ensure that the voices of women, youth and survivors remain central to Liberia’s peace and justice processes.
FeJAL described the partnership with Kvinna till Kvinna and the European Union as renewed international confidence in women-led organizations and community-based media institutions working to preserve Liberia’s peace.
The organization emphasized that holding the signing ceremony at the WIPNET Peace Hut carries deep historical and symbolic significance.
The Peace Hut remains a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience demonstrated by Liberian women who mobilized for peace during the country’s civil crisis and continues to serve as a symbol of healing, collective action and hope for future generations.
FeJAL said it remains committed to using journalism, storytelling and community engagement as tools for justice, accountability, healing and lasting peace as Liberia continues its reconciliation journey.
The official launch of the PEACEGEN Liberia Project is expected during the week of June 22, 2026.
Established in 1998, the Female Journalists Association of Liberia is a membership and media development organization focused on strengthening the capacity of women journalists and advancing gender equality, human rights, social justice and inclusive national development.
For nearly three decades, the organization has remained at the forefront of promoting ethical journalism, women’s leadership in the media and community-centered advocacy initiatives across Liberia.
