Nevertheless, one of the few areas of weakness identified by the Toolkit is the difficulty in obtaining a broadcast media (TV or radio) license at a reasonable cost in the counties. This appears to be related to the high costs that are involved in traveling to Monrovia to obtain licenses, often from parts of the country that are quite remote from the capital.
