Empower Liberia Through Small Businesses

Background

The world watched as Liberian kids as young as 10 years old were exploited as armed combatants. Under threat of death, they committed terrible acts of violence against the Liberian society. Many turned to substance abuse to cope with their experiences. In partnership with IDEFOC, our program named Botanical Reintegration Village aims to provide groups of former child soldiers a three-month program to help them recover from their trauma and obtain the skills necessary for social reintegration.

Stakeholder collaboration

For Action10 and HR&S, managing stakeholder relationships is of the utmost importance, and we constantly aim to be a trust-worthy and capable partner. Three of these are the Target Partners we work with, the donors, as well as international and national implementing partners.

• From the point of view of the Target Partner we build the collaboration programme on the ambition of our partner, on their their challenges and on their network and understanding of the local situation.

• From the point of view of the investors we work with risk/return & impact ratios. Investors need to know that the funds and effort they contributed with is well managed so that money is not lost and sustainable impact is ensured. Thus, HR&S is developing tools for risk assessment and risk mitigation.

• HR&S offers the service of both the international and national implementing partners; HR&S HQ together with Action10 operates as the international implementing partners and HR&S Country branches operates as the national implementing partners.

We empower every key stakeholder; through our development programmes, our target partners in lower income countries and our investors, as well as the international and the national implementing partners.
