Liberia is taking a stand against corruption with a nationwide campaign that aims to educate and empower its citizens. This interactive article delves into the efforts of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) to foster a culture of transparency and accountability.
The Campaign Trail: A Nationwide Crusade On May 18, 2024, the LACC launched an Education and Awareness Campaign in Tubmanburg, Bomi County, and Ganta, Nimba County. The theme “Strengthening the Rule of Law through Public Awareness on Enabling Anti-corruption Legislation” underscores the campaign’s goal to inform the public about anti-corruption laws and the LACC’s mandate.

Empowering the Public: Knowledge is Power The LACC has distributed thousands of copies of anti-corruption legislation, including the acts on whistleblower and witness protection, to increase public awareness. These efforts are complemented by the installation of informational materials at strategic locations to enhance visibility.
