Inter-Religious Council of Liberia (IRCL).
Established in 1990 as a non-political and non-factional entity, the Inter-Religious Council of Liberia (IRCL) is a joint effort of the Liberian Council of Churches and the Liberian Muslim Council to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts in Liberia. The IRCL was instrumental in formulating the framework for the ECOWAS Peace Plan which included cease-fire, round table, peacekeeping force and disarmament, which led to the hosting of elections in 1997.
The IRCL has its projects in the troubled northern regions of Liberia, where the civil wars were initiated. The IRCL was instrumental in the resolution of tribal conflicts in two of the northern counties.
The IRCL organises and faciliates peacebuilding workshops for community and religious leaders in four counties of Liberia, and workshops on religious tolerance throughout the 15 political divisions of the country. They also offer training for women in leadership roles.
The IRCL has ten members of staff, including both Muslims and Christians, and the leadership rotates within the organisation.
