UN community volunteers’ office tour during their induction
The European Union Funded Project “Leh Go Green’’, which supports Sustainable Livelihoods and Forest Conservation in Liberia, inducted 15 United Nations Community Volunteers as Project Associates.
The orientation and induction program conducted on Friday, August 16, 2024, was organized to support volunteers in understanding their roles, and functions as part of an onboarding process that provides essential training on organizational policies, security protocols, networking, and job-specific responsibilities.
This process aims to enhance the performance and productivity of the volunteers and build a collaborative and inclusive work environment. Volunteers participated in Job-specific training and gender awareness sessions, received a security briefing from the United Nations Department for Security (UNDSS), and were introduced to project partners and project goals.
The partners include the EU as a donor and its implementing partners such as UNDP, the FDA, Society for the Conservation of Nature of Liberia (SCNL), BRAC, Nimba Ventures, Forestry Training Institute, Green Gold, and Wild Chimpanzee Foundation.
The LEH GO GREEN project addresses the multifaceted issues of biodiversity loss, forest degradation, and climate change by promoting forest restoration, diversified livelihoods, and sustainable forest management.
The objectives of this project are to improve natural resources governance and create a conducive business environment for sustainable forest-based activities, enhance forest restoration in degraded areas while promoting economic opportunities for underserved populations, particularly women and youth, and facilitate the sustainable utilization of forest resources.
A key component of this intervention involves the integration of fifteen community volunteers, who will play a pivotal role in supporting livelihood ventures, project monitoring, and fostering community stewardship.
