Message from the Executive Director
On behalf of the General Assembly, the Board of Directors, the Management Team and general staff of DEN-L, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all our partners, our donors, and our stakeholders for the level of support provided to DEN-L over the years. With your support, I believe we do more than we are able to effectively communicate; so, the purpose of this website is to share with you the work we do, how we do it and, most importantly, the impact of what we do. While the information at this site may not be exhaustive, I trust you will find some that will help you answer key questions about DEN-L and, perhaps, those that might encourage you support our work.
DEN-L is a place-to-be and a place for growth and development. This is exemplary of the transition our staff members go through from entry level apprentices to high-level trainers, facilitators, and managers with complex knowledge and skills at different levels. Our primary thrust is capacity building and so we begin with ourselves-building the capacity of our staff who are expected to build the capacity of other CSOs and CBOs to be viable organizations with strong human resources, and work with communities to address their own situations.
This testimony does not, however, mean that we have no challenges; in fact, our challenges over the years have helped us built the resilience to deal with different situations at different times-during peace, war, economic draw down, donors’ fatigue, etc. It is also important to mention that our triumph is built on the legacy of our past leaders; I am grateful to them; we strive to live to their legacy and we encourage our successors as well as our stakeholders to also live up to what we stand for: transparency, accountability, collaboration, justice, and impact of our work. Let us all work to make Liberia at peace with itself and its neighbors. I hope you enjoy your browse at this website and feel free to contact us if you need additional information. ThanksPeter S. Dolo
