FrontPage Africa/Sustainable Development Institute MONROVIA – Green Livelihood Alliance (GLA) 2.0, a program tackling deforestation, human rights abuses and activists’ safety and the lack of policies that drive smallholder farming, has been launched. Campaigners at the Sustainable Development Institute (SDI), who are implementing the five-year project, say GLA 2.0 will be implemented in Sinoe, Grand Kru, Maryland, Gbarpolu, Grand Cape Mount and Bomi.
