Talking Books Spread the Word About Women’s Land Rights in Liberia

Audiobooks are bringing information about Liberia's 2018 Land Rights Act to rural communities in this country.  

Audio books, referred to here by the proprietary name "Talking Books, bring information about land use rights to Bong County, Liberia, specifically to 31 rural communities in the Panta, Gahn, and Wrumah clans.

Funding for the project comes from USAID’s Land Evidence for Economic Rights, Gender, and Equality (LEVERAGE) Activity in partnership with Landesa,
