Liberia
Liberia is still recovering from the effects of a 14-year civil war that ended in 2003. The civil war has left the country in a fragile state. More than 80 percent of Liberians were surviving on less than 1.25 USD per day. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation classifies Liberia as a low-income, and food-deficit country.
Eritrea
Eritrea’s economy is largely based on subsistence agriculture, and 60 percent of the population relies for food and income on agricultural activities. The youngest independent country has an annual per capita income of 150 USD. In 2001, 53 percent of the country’s households fell below the poverty line, and 44 percent of children under the age of five were underweight.
