Orange entered the Liberian telecom market in 2016 by acquiring Cellcom. Since then, the French company has become one of the country's leading operators.

Orange Liberia invested over $250 million between 2016, when it acquired operator Cellcom, and July 2025.

The company revealed this investment last week during the 2025 Liberia Technology Summit. It covered digital infrastructure, financial inclusion, and technology education, strengthening Orange Liberia's market position in the West African country.

We are not just witnesses to Liberia’s transformation. We are proud to be active partners—building a digital nation where innovation drives development and no one is left behind,” said Zayzay Mulbah, representing CEO Jean Marius Yao.

This statement follows the company's May announcement of a $200 million investment over the next six years. That investment aims to improve network coverage and service quality, particularly in underserved rural areas. For financial inclusion, the telecom operator has pledged to support government authorities through its Orange Money service.

In Liberia, we are committed to the government’s payment digitization program to support all sectors of the economy in the transition to digital. Orange Money Liberia has also entered into a strategic partnership to contribute to the Central Bank of Liberia’s financial inclusion strategy,” the company’s mother group stated in its 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility report.
