After nearly five years of dedicated support to the informal sector, the REALISE Project has successfully completed its final round of cash transfers to the last group of beneficiaries in Margibi and Montserrado Counties. This milestone marks the conclusion of a significant national effort aimed at strengthening small businesses and improving livelihoods across some of Liberia’s most economically active regions.
The REALISE Project—an initiative led by the Government of Liberia with strong backing from the World Bank, the French Government, and the Swedish Government—has played a vital role in empowering micro and small enterprises, many of which operate in vulnerable and underserved communities. Through targeted financial assistance, capacity-building, and enterprise support, the project has contributed to job creation, economic resilience, and poverty reduction in the informal sector.
As the final transfers are completed, the REALISE Project stands as a testament to the power of coordinated international and national collaboration in driving inclusive economic development.
