Policy Consulting

AEI understands the complex role of governmental services in countries such as Liberia. As Liberia strives to pull herself through post-war challenges, government plays an integral role in providing the means for privately-held businesses to thrive to create a sustainable economy. In order to become an emerging market, Liberia’s government must provide the means for its citizens to participate in leveraging the resources that allow Liberians a competitive advantage to participate in the free world market. In post-war Liberia, AEI can provide the partnership the Liberian government needs to develop policies and programs that support the farmers and the agricultural landscape that allows Liberia to be competitive.

With customized services that reflect the government’s priorities, AEI can help the Liberian government fill the gaps.

  • Aid in the development of sound environmental policies as it relates to agriculture
  • Provide outsourced project and business management with focus on market creation and food processing.  Manage processing stations (HR, develop administrative processes of how the farmers use the services of the processing stations, finances, support and reporting)
