West Africa is at a turning point. After many years in camps in Guinea, refugees are now returning home to neighboring Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Ivory Coast. The large youth population (ages 15 to 24) plays an important role in moving the peace process forward during this crucial period. Through the LEGACY Initiative, IRC supports young people in accessing meaningful livelihoods opportunities through relevant and adaptable skills training, opportunities for civic participation, and the development of life skills.
