Enhancing the Textile Industry in Liberia

Monrovia, Liberia:The visit by the Burkina Faso delegation is aimed at boosting Liberia’s textile industry, particularly by increasing opportunities for local cotton growers. This partnership seeks to create more jobs, empower women, and support youth employment, aligning with Liberia’s broader efforts to stimulate its economy.
