Economic Development Program

Peacebuilding & Social Harmony Program

Economic Development from Communities Upwards

Supporting women, youth, and local leaders to prevent conflict, rebuild trust, and sustain peaceful communities.

Through our Economic Development & Social Harmony Program, B4P CODEFOUND brings communities together across Liberia’s 15 counties and the diaspora to address the root causes of violence and exclusion. We combine dialogue, civic education, and skills-building to help communities transform tensions into collaboration.
