Together, the founders of the Ducor Institute have decades of experience working across government, private sector, academia, think tanks and non-governmental organizations.
The Ducor Institute supports clients from all sectors - government, NGOs, civil society organizations, and business - with evidence-based research that supports policy-making, advocacy and social-economic development interventions.
Ducor is the indigenous name for the area surrounding the mouth of the Mesurado River, presently known as Monrovia, Liberia’s capital city.
