Integrity Watch Liberia, the National Elections Commission, and their development partners have come together to implement a program aimed at ensuring political parties adhere to the Campaign Financing Regulations.
The program was officially launched on Monday, July 17, 2023, at a local hotel in Monrovia.
During the program overview, Harold Aidoo, Executive Director of Integrity Watch Liberia, emphasized the importance of accountability, transparency, and good governance for political parties aspiring to hold state power.

This initiative aims to support political institutions in their efforts to promote integrity and ethical practices.
