On Thursday, January 29, 2026, Accountability Lab Liberia participated in a high-level stakeholders’ dialogue on Freedom of Information (FOI), reaffirming its commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and public access to information in Liberia.

The high-level discussion ...featured a panel of prominent legal and human rights experts, who explored existing frameworks that challenge the effective implementation of the Freedom of Information Law and proposed recommendations to ensure harmonization and complementarity among related laws. Panelists included Cllr. Tiawan S. Gongloe, Professor of Law and FOI Legal Expert; Cllr. Bornor M. Varmah, Chairman of the Law Reform Commission (LRC); Atty. Patmillia Doe-Paivey, Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission; and Cllr. Mark Bedor-Wla Freeman, Former Commissioner of the Independent Information Commission.

The event was also graced by the presence of H.E. Nona Deprez, European Union Ambassador to Liberia, alongside heads of government institutions, civil society organizations, youth and student groups, representatives of the disabled community, media institutions, and other stakeholders representing diverse sectors of Liberian society.

The dialogue, held at D’Calabash in Congo Town, was organized by the Independent Information Commission (IIC) in collaboration with the Center for Media Studies and Peace Building (CEMESP). The event brought together key actors from across Liberian society to examine legal and institutional barriers affecting citizens’ access to information.

The dialogue emphasized the critical role of access to information in strengthening democracy, promoting accountability, and enhancing citizen participation in governance.

Whistleblowers play a crucial role in promoting accountability and transparency, which are vital to the integrity of our democratic processes. It is essential that we not only recognize their bravery but also provide them with the necessary protections to ensure their safety.

Today, we had... the privilege of hosting the Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF) for a productive discussion focused on enhancing legal support, media engagement, and increasing awareness for whistleblowers' protection in Liberia. PPLAAF is also meeting with other stakeholders and has recently held meetings with the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC).
