EUROPEAID

        Project:

European_UnionDevelopment and Cooperation – EuropeAid is a new Directorate-General (DG) responsible for designing EU development policies and delivering assistance through programmes and projects across the world. It incorporates the former Development and Europeaid DGs. Having one DG will simplify communication in the development field by acting as a “one stop shop” – providing a single contact point for stakeholders inside and outside the EU to deal with.

In Liberia, FCA contributes to enhance the rule of law and the respect of the fundamental human rights of the most vulnerable prisoners. FCA is currently implementing an EU Project aiming to strenghten local and regional mediation and conflict resolution mechanisms and reducing the number of active conflicts in Bay and Bakool, Somalia.
