MISSION

The FCI mission is to promote community based initiatives especially women actions for sustainable community driven development and natural resources management. FCI’s interventions are focused on forest governance and natural resource management in Liberia, with specific focus on increasing the participation of women and youth groups in decision-making, benefit sharing and other management practices.

FCI is committed to contributing to efforts to build a Liberia where both men and women can enjoy their rights in a life shaped by dignity, peace and without poverty. The organization continues to fight injustices that stem from unequal power dynamics and support women as a marginalized group to empower them to have the agency and ability to have control over their own livelihoods. The FCI fights to allow equal gender participation in decision-making processes, so that there is equitable distribution of benefits from natural resource management for all.
