CARI Socioeconomics Program Launches First Client Satisfaction Survey in Bong County to Strengthen Service Delivery and Feedback Systems

Located approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) northeast of Monrovia, CARI is Liberia’s premier agricultural research hub. Established in 1948 as the Central Agriculture Experiment Station (CAES), reorganized in 1980 as the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI), the institute, which operated as a semi-autonomous agency under the Ministry of Agriculture, is now autonomous. Its mandate includes conducting agricultural research, developing improved crop varieties, supporting national food security initiatives, and promoting sustainable farming practices
