Liberia
2.6 Liberia Storage Assessment
Home

Storage facilities in Liberia are limited and the rents are high. Often, the owners request for long term rental agreements which might not be suitable for all. Land propriety disputes are among the main constraints to increasing the number of storage facilities or improving the existing ones.

Commercial Storage

It is possible to find storage facilities in Monrovia but the difficulty is to find one that corresponds to the needs and requirements. Most facilities are of small capacity. Outside Monrovia, it is more difficult to locate warehouses and storage facilities.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations

During the Ebola Response and due to the limited availability of warehouses in the country, there was an increasing use of mobile storage units or rub-halls. WFP installed different warehouses/rub-halls in different locations in the country to provide storage facilities to the humanitarian community and the government in their Ebola Response.
