    While Liberia has benefited from improved peace and security since the end of its 14 year civil war in 2003, a fragile protective environment continues to generate vulnerabilities among the population. Meanwhile, political events in neighboring Côte d’Ivoire in 2010 caused a large influx of Ivorian refugees as well as Liberian returnees into the country’s southeast region thus placing additional stress on historically marginalized border communities.
