It originates in the Guinea Highlands in Liberia and forms part of the Liberia-Sierra Leone border. The Mano River Union (MRU) is an international association initially established between Liberia and Sierra Leone; it was established as an instrument of regional cooperation consisting of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It was founded in 1973 with two countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Guinea joined in 1980. The districts through which the river flows include the Parrot’s Beak area of Guinea, Liberia’s Lofa County, and the Kono and Kailahun District of Sierra Leone.
