OVERVIEW

Mercy Corps believes that responses to emergencies and development must, at their core, focus on strengthening the bonds between the public, private and civic sectors - civil society's three actors. Our approach aims to build and improve societal relations based on the three principles of peaceful coexistence, accountability and participation.

While our response changes with each unique situation or crisis, our commitment to building working trust between individuals, community members and grassroots organizations remains constant.

Prince Weedoru is a reporter for Radio Kakata in Liberia. In the run-up to the recent Liberian elections, he broadcasted important information to help those voting for the first time to make independent, informed decisions about their country's future.
