Post-conflict Liberia faces significant challenges in economic recovery and household food security due to widespread poverty, unemployment, and social dislocation. A qualitative analysis of interviews with community leaders and focus group discussions with affected households, supplemented by secondary data from government reports and surveys conducted in -.
