MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Government of Liberia, through the Liberia Refugee Repatriation and Reconciliation Commission (LRRRC), is expected to begin payment of resettlement financial packages to returnees under the first phase of the repatriation program today.

According to the LRRRC, the payment will only cover those who have been reunited with their families.

As part of the resettlement package, the head of each family will receive three hundred US Dollars, while a dependent will also receive two hundred twenty-five USD.
