Green Advocates International (GAI) was founded in 1997. It’s a Liberian-based non-profit, public interest law, environmental, and human rights organization working to advance a wide range of issues through legal aid, consultation, and support for the victims of environmental and human rights violations; the development of context-specific programs to empower poor rural, urban slum and squatter communities to participate in decision-making processes in the management of Liberia’s natural resources and its economy and the public’s right to know; the drafting and enactment of appropriate policies and legislation on good governance; the promotion of transparency and accountability in governmental activities and assistance in the strengthening and enforcement of existing environmental and human rights standards.
Mission
To promote community-based institutions and approaches through which individuals and groups can freely interact and effectively empower themselves to transform their economic, social and cultural structures.
Notre travail dans le domaine du financement du développement
GAI worked with development finance institutions to put human rights at the center of sustainable growth and development in Liberia, with issues ranging from natural resource governance to corporate accountability, and have facilitated the establishment of networks across the country and the sub-region.
