LEGAL AID PROGRAMME
IDAD launches its first Legal Aid Clinics providing free legal assistance to citizens in Montserrado County. Over 300 citizens receive legal support in the first year, establishing a model that will be replicated across the country.
CIVIC EDUCATION EXPANSION
In partnership with the National Elections Commission, IDAD trains over 200 community civic educators across 6 counties ahead of the 2017 general elections, reaching thousands of first-time voters with critical democratic participation knowledge.
CONSTITUTION DISTRIBUTION
IDAD prints and distributes over 1,000 copies of the Liberian Constitution and key legislation to rural communities, civil society groups, and local leaders across all 15 counties.
DEMOCRACY FELLOWSHIP LAUNCHED
IDAD launches the Democracy Fellowship programme, placing 12 emerging governance leaders in year-long immersive advocacy and research assignments across Liberia. The first cohort produces 8 published governance assessments.
NATURAL RESOURCES GOVERNANCE
