Building regulatory capacity assessment for Liberia

The Building Regulatory Capacity Assessment for Liberia aims to identify priority actions to strengthen Liberia's building regulatory framework, informed by a combination of literature review, field visits and consultations with experts and stakeholders in the government and private sector.
