In recent years, Liberia has seen a constant strengthening of its bilateral cooperation with France and also from European Union (main EF partners in Liberia) with significant funding to support the private sector development and enhance the public governance. This has resulted in a major increase of the Agency's portfolio in 2025, which now stands at €25 million and is expected to exceed €50 million by the end of the 2026. To support this development, EF has decided to structure an office with decentralized support functions in Monrovia, as of Q1 2026.
