Strengthening the Framework for Environmental Legislation in Liberia
As it emerges from years of civil war and internal strife, Liberia is seeking to establish a framework in which to sustainably manage its natural resources. In April 2001, at the request of the Association of Environmental Lawyers, an environmental law NGO in Monrovia, ELI reviewed and commented on the draft Environmental Protection and Management Law of the Republic of Liberia. To strengthen the on-the-ground applicability of the law and to build connections between public interest environmental lawyers in the region, ELI solicited the assistance of environmental lawyers from some of ELI’s partner organizations in Africa to review the draft law. ELI also provided copies of other framework environmental laws from Africa and around the world to assist the Association and the government of Liberia in developing an effective environmental law framework.
