MFI Report

Liberia, along with Sierra Leone, is one of the newest countries of our international programmes. Established in 2008, we have launched successful programmes in microfinance, health, agriculture, livestock and poultry; reaching more than 582,000 of the poorest Liberians to help them realise their potential. As the programmes expand, we are providing career opportunities for young Liberians eager to contribute to their country’s future. We currently employ 161 Liberians (71% women) and have mobilised nearly 300 community-based volunteers as part of our wider team. We invest in their career development through on-going training and capacity-building. Over the next two years, BRAC’s microfinance programme in Liberia plans to target and serve more clients, the majority of whom are women members. Our health, agriculture and livestock programmes will benefit not only these borrowers and their families, but the wider community in the areas served. Our programmes include: * Microfinance * Agriculture, Livestock and Poultry * Health We provide support through: * Training * Monitoring, Research and Evaluation * Partnership Hide
