Advancing community forest rights, strengthening local leadership, and supporting sustainable livelihoods throughout Liberia.
The National Union of Community Forestry Development Committees (NUCFDCs) works with forest-dependent communities to promote fair participation in forest governance and improve access to development opportunities.
Our work connects community training, rights advocacy, project development, sustainable resource management, and organizational support. Together, these areas help community representatives engage more effectively with institutions and partners.
