Overview of USAID Programs in Liberia

Peaceful elections held in October and November 2005 and the inauguration of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first elected female Head of State in Africa, in January 2006, ushered in a period of hope and high expectations for recovery and development after decades of poor governance and conflict.

Nevertheless, the consequences of 14 years of civil war (1989-2003) constitute huge challenges to Liberia's recovery, reform and rebuilding process.

Central and local governments that collapsed require support to secure law and order, administer justice, provide basic services such as water, electricity and road maintenance, restore health and education systems, and generate

employment.
