NRC
has been working in Liberia since 2003 providing protection, humanitarian
assistance and durable solutions to individuals and communities affected by
displacement. The Information, counseling and legal assistance (ICLA) project
was founded in 2006 with the objective of addressing land conflict, tenure
security and access to land issues which were impeding the return of refugees
and IDPs. The project is organized around three inter-linked areas of activity:
land dispute resolution, capacity building and research and advocacy. The
project is undertaking a strategic transition in 2013, from resolving land
disputes directly, to focus on strengthening and consolidating the capacity of
our local partners to do this work.
