Business Daily meets: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

It was a significant moment when Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was declared president of Liberia in 2005 - Africa's first elected female head of state.

Although she made significant progress in promoting peace and development - which earned her a Nobel Peace Prize - her accomplishments were overshadowed by allegations of corruption and nepotism.

She discusses her journey, which includes both achievements and controversies; what she would have done differently; and the various economic challenges that African countries are facing today.
