LERES advances economic development and inclusive governance in Liberia and the African region through research, policy analysis, and advisory services. It integrates gender and security perspectives into economic inquiry, recognizing that sustainable growth requires both financial resilience and social stability.
Most research written about Liberia's economy is produced somewhere else, for someone else's purposes. LERES was founded to close that gap research built from Liberian fieldwork and a working knowledge of how the country's markets actually move.
