In Liberia the National Board of Trade has supported the WTO accession process with technical support and capacity development. Two technical experts from the National Board of Trade are posted at the Liberian Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Monrovia. The purpose has been to develop long term individual, as well as organisational, capacity in parallel to the accession. Financed by Sida, the project was completed in July 2018.

The BI team conducted a wide range of meetings with national and international public and private actors during the visit.
