BRAC staff use role plays in their training programs. Pictured are new community health volunteers in Liberia who are undergoing a refresher training at the Paynesville Branch office. They were illustrating the various ways to persuade a neighbor to invest in buying a mosquito bednet to prevent malaria.
The Soros Economic Development Fund and Omidyar Network made equal equity investments in BRAC's new microfinance companies, each now operating the first 10 branches in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Representatives from the organizations recently held a board meeting in Monrovia. In addition, BRAC established nonprofit organizations in both countries with support from Open Society Institute of West Africa, Humanity United and Omidyar Network to improve the health conditions of poor and marginalized families as well as bolster their livelihood opportunities, particularly through development of the agriculture and livestock sectors.
