Capacity Building for Local Artists-HipCo Accountability Network

“Civic Participation and Collaboration” are two key strategies I learned about today during this workshop that stood out for me as a musician. Giving back to the society is high on my advocacy agenda especially now that we have general elections coming up 2023. I am working on a civil education song to sensitize citizens to be aware of politician fake promises during elections, as they are not in our interest – Thomas Moserary, alias Theoto, one of the workshop participants and a member of the Hip-Co accountability network.

Accountability Lab Liberia Voice2Rep campaign initiative, with support from The Music in African Foundation, provided a platform to engage The Hip-Co Accountability network and artists, to build the capacity of 16 musicians; to promote messaging around civic participation through young artists and community radio stations; and to create linkages among different artists for cross collaboration, learning and advocacy.
