About Us​

The Liberia Media for Democratic Initiatives (LMDI) was established in October 2011 and registered during the same period with the Liberian Government. Its mission is to achieve good governance and to promote peaceful co-existence through media-related programs and outreach. LMDI regards building the post-conflict fragile peace and the development of the media in Liberia as key to sustaining Liberia’s emerging democracy.

LMDI is a revision of the vision of the Liberia Media Initiative founded in 2007 by John O. Kollie, Founder and Director.

LMDI aims to achieve participatory democracy, and by extension its sustenance, through media sensitization, media empowerment, training and workshops for media practitioners, outreach on peacebuilding and national reconciliation, and awareness on key development issues, pillars, and governance.

LMDI is working towards an overall goal of achieving democratic governance through people’s inclusion to consolidate peace in Liberia. The LMDI at the moment runs five active radio and Community outreach programs all based on themes around democracy, governance, peacebuilding, and development.

Testimonials

"I benefited mainly from the English category during my 2019 exams. I did prepare for the game but didn't participate. Furthermore, I had so much love for the game that I recorded the game at 7 pm on Truth Fm every Tuesday and on other radio stations. As a result of this, I familiarized myself with most of the questions. During the National Exam, I came across most of the LMDI Literature in English questions and that gave me more advantage on the exam. Thanks to Mr. Kollie and his team for uplifting, and unifying the educational system.''

"During my last academic year (2016-2017) as Captain of Amos T. Taybior Institute, LMDI helped me and my teammates to be nationally recognized by many Liberians because of its strong publicity and outreach. Now I’m a National Quizzer."

"The Liberia Media For Democratic Initiatives-LMDI impacted me a lot during my high school days; especially in 2016/ 2017, when I was in the quizzical revolution with other quizzers, and exposed my academic gallantry to many Liberians in and out of the country. I'm actually grateful to the LMDI family for the role playing in the struggle of the eradication of the mindset that our country (Liberia) education sector is a mess."
