Chevron Liberia’s social investment program

Chevron-Liberia Economic Development (C-LED) initiative is the corporate social responsibility arm of Chevron Liberia Limited. A Capstone team was requested to assess C-LED’s first round of social investment from the years 2010-2015. The team produced a case study with an in-depth analysis of the social investment portfolio. The analysis examined the portfolio’s theory and project conception, implementation process, and evaluation and monitoring practices. The case study also provided recommendations for improving the social investment strategy for market entry. To complete the final report, the team conducted extensive desk research; interviews with key staff in Liberia and Houston, TX; stakeholder interviews with 12 partner organizations; and discussions with key Liberian government officials.
