This case study was prepared by Sirleaf Market Women's Fund, an organization in Liberia named in honor of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman elected president in Africa and the granddaughter of a rural market woman. The Fund works to strengthen Liberian market women through the provision of market infrastructure, skills training and financial tools. This case study assesses the challenges, successes and failures of the SMWF projects and identifies the lessons learned. Information was obtained through interviews with market women individually and via focus group discussions in 11 markets around the country.
