IWL in partnership with Tax Justice Network Africa Launch " Stop the Bleeding" Campaign
IWL and TJNA officially launched "Stop the Bleeding" campaign under the theme " Optimizing Domestic Resource Mobilization in Liberia. The campaign was launched in the Auditorium of the University of Liberia in Monrovia, March 10, 2022.
The launch convened over 100 students drawn mainly from two campus based political parties, the Student Unification Party (SUP) and the Student Integration Party (SIM). It began with a mega musical gig with one of Liberia’s finest DJ Duplexe Rickey Jaeploe serving as MC. The musical gig created a supper euphoric ambiance that set the auditorium “ablaze” as many of the students danced to the HipCo beat as several of the songs played conveyed messages of Pan-Africanism, Corruption, Human Rights and economic emancipation which helped to set the stage and tone for the conversation of the “Stop the Bleeding Campaign Launch”.
The campaign was launched with the following objectives:
· To create awareness on Domestic Resource Mobilization in Liberia
· To identify different channels through which Liberia lost revenue through concessions
· To make recommendations that will improve DRM in Liberia
