Despite substantial progress towards peace, economic growth, and
better governance since 2003, Liberia remains one of the poorest
countries in the world. The objective of this study is twofold.
First it is to provide a basic diagnostic of both consumption-based
poverty and human development (especially education and health) in
the country using the 2007 CWIQ (Core Welfare Indicators
Questionnaire) survey. Second, it is to assess the likely impact on
the poor of the recent economic crisis, and especially the increase
in rice prices, and to document the targeting performance of
various measures taken by the government in 2008/09 to help the
poor cope with the crisis. These measures included a reduction in
import taxes for rice, a reform of the personal income tax, and the
implementation of a cash for work temporary employment program.
