Two months ago, on August 5, 2021, Andrew Y.Y Zelemen, the Facilitator at the Nation Union of Community Forest Development Committees (NUCFDC) appeared as Guest Speaker on Forest Hour (FH) radio program, produced by the Liberia Forest Media Watch (LFMW). Guest Speaker Andrew spoke about the revenue arrears owed to communities adjoining logging concessions called FMCs and TSCs.  Mr. Zeleman, as well as members of the 23 Community Forest Development Committees (CFDCs) around Liberia, was keen to know about efforts being made by forest stakeholders to access the huge funds owed to them, and the Government of Liberia’s plans to make payments.
