At the request of the U.S. Marine Forces Africa (MARFORAF), The Intelligence and Knowledge Development (IKD) Directorate, Social Science Research Center (SSRC) implemented a qualitative research study in Liberia targeting civilian and enlisted soldiers’ perspectives on the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL). The study included data drawn primarily from 40 participants. Nineteen of the participants completed semi-structured interviews and 21 participants contributed their perspectives during focus group discussions. To prepare for fieldwork, the SSRC also conducted informal interviews with 35 people to include Liberian scholars, military personnel, and Contractors familiar with the AFL reform.
