LFA To
Collaborate With LICORNET
By Julu M. Johnson, Jr.
The Liberia Football Association (LFA)
and the Liberia Community Radio Network (LICORNET) have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate in National Football
pledge and football competition sponsored by USAID/Liberia
Transitional Initiative (LTI).
According to the MOU, as stated in a press
release, LICORNET is responsible to provide media publicity for a
national soccer pledge competition to be implemented in six of the
fifteen counties in Liberia. They include Nimba, Bong, Grand Bassa,
Margibi, Bomi and Grand Cape Mount Counties.
The project, which is a sixty-five thousand
(US$65,000.00) grant to the LFA from USAID through the LTI, seeks to
rally support for and catalyze the Peace and Reconciliation process
using soccer, a popular sport in the country.
The project is aimed at encouraging the
youth in and out of school and to focus on peace messages both through
a contest and through the promotion of new soccer peace pledge to be
voiced at every soccer game of the LFA.
The MOU, which was signed on October, 12, 2004,
was done by Jeddi M. Armah on behalf of LICORNET while Yanqueh Borsay,
Secretary-General, signed for the LFA. |
