Border community security: Mano River Union region

This report present key findings from the selected border region locations in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, countries closely linked not only by their common borders and ethnic groups but also by their history and conflicts. 

The findings from the selected border locations reveal that very similar challenges confront border communities across the sub-region. The majority of the border communities feel they are affected by bad governance and political, social and economic exclusion, which accentuate their marginalisation and further entrench vulnerability and poverty. As in the past, this leads to potential insecurity and instability hotspots with impact across borders.
