In an effort to uphold the protection of human rights throughout the country, Search For Common Ground in collaboration with Rights and Rice has officially launched a major project in Liberia. The project was launched recently in Lofa and Bong with the aim of encouraging the appropriate authorities to protect and promote human rights in the country. According to Oscar Bloh, Country Director of Search for Common Ground, the project is being launched in Lofa and Bong Counties, two of Liberia's most populated counties.
