Agriculture, Liberia’s comparative advantage, has also been identified as one of our major poverty- alleviation instruments, since it can lead us to self- sufficiency in food production and self-employment, as well as open doors to industrialization. With the implementation of a new special economic zone, we intend to attract labour-intensive light manufacturing. Drawing on the experience of the 2014 Ebola epidemic, which took the lives of thousands of Liberians and health workers, we intend to efficiently and properly organize our health-care delivery system, to ensure that the health and well-being of our people is improved.
