"The current document is a report on CSML’s [Civil Society and Media Leadership Program] efforts to support the 2011 presidential and legislative elections, primarily through IREX’s Liberian media partners and civil society organizations. It is also hoped that the document will serve as a guide for supporting electoral processes through media development in other countries in West Africa and beyond. The report provides a brief background into the context in which the elections and national referendum were held, lists critical assumptions considered as each intervention was designed, a detailed explanation of how interventions were conducted, and an overview of the results of the Initiative. The document also outlines lessons learned throughout the process and makes recommendations for the future of media development in Liberia." (Foreword)
